letra de das kapital - jack hardy

[verse 1]
it was the mother who smiled instead of the child
in soft benign resolution
it was the daughter who tried with a nickel and dime
to right the wrongs of collusion
but all she could find in the pair of cold eyes
was a recognition and longing
as the mother passed on and on and on
without losing the thread of belonging

[chorus]
something to eat, something to eat
it’s not everybody who lands on their feet
the only difference between you and me
is you have more of das kapital

[verse 2]
it was the mother who tried, the mother who pried
with a voice that was firm and controlling
we did not say, we did not pay
your education for something so lowly
more often than not they end up forgot
they end up a bum on the street
did you see that one? we just passed one
who would give him so much as to eat
[chorus]
something to eat, something to eat
it’s not everybody who lands on their feet
the only difference between you and me
is you have more of das kapital

[verse 3]
it was the mother who smiled instead of the child
basking in her own dark reflection
a treasonable sign, a reasonable time
to head off this one stark defection
for artists are made and artists are played
to service the rich man’s opinion
like maya angelou and michelangelo
who adorn your house of religion

[chorus]
something to eat, something to eat
it’s not everybody who lands on their feet
the only difference between you and me
is you have more of das kapital
