Such Is Captialism
She was poor, but so honest,she was the pride of her childhood home,
but a rich man got lustful,
and then he took her virtue.
Such is capitalism,
ingratitude is the wage of the poor,
it’s a paradise for the rich, but
I think it’s a damn shame.
When she went to a party,
she met him on his hunt for girls.
She said 'I've never gotten any'
she never should have said that.
Such is capitalism,
ingratitude is the wage of the poor,
it’s a paradise for the rich, but
I think it’s a damn shame.
She took the train to the city,
to hide her fall.
Now she solicits on the streets,
four crowns1 for a fuck.
Such is capitalism,
ingratitude is the wage of the poor,
it’s a paradise for the rich, but
I think it’s a damn shame.
Look at the little house with thatched roof,
where her old mother lives,
eats caviar with pleasure,
lives in excess from her daughter's whoring.
Such is capitalism,
ingratitude is the wage of the poor,
it’s a paradise for the rich, but
I think it’s a damn shame.
Now the girl solicits on Strøget,2
clad in leather bags and tulle.
She's landed right in the dirt,
it's the old bastard's fault.
Such is capitalism,
ingratitude is the wage of the poor,
it’s a paradise for the rich, but
I think it’s a damn shame.
She has corns on her behind,
she has scabies - and that thing, you know.
So she jumps in the channel,
no more whoring - yes, that was that.
