Capitalists' Prey?

We sleep in the bed that they make

I want to push you off the high chair because it’s mine!

I want to eat your cake and bleed you dry!

Can we play friends in time for bed?

When you say stop I’ll wake up red and run you down

Are we the capitalists’ prey

We sleep in the bed that they make

Are we the capitalists’ prey

Is there anything that we can say

I’ll take your toys and give them to boys that are worthy

I’ll fight for your right but will make you pay

Can we walk in the sun hand in hand?

When you let go I’ll push you out and you will burn

We are the capitalists’ prey

We sleep in the bed that they make

We are the capitalists’ prey

There is nothing that we can say
