Capital Songtext
von Stoat

I′ll obey your invisible orders
Anticipate all your needs
Heed your subtle instructions
In word, in mind, in deed
Indoctrinate all my children –
They'll be just like me
We′ll serve you like only a thoroughly modern
Family
Can

Pay me good heed my friends –
Righteous pride was never but a venial sin
No, nor was jealousy
And enlightened avarice it makes the world go round
But Lucifer
Makes work for slothful hands to do


Lose that troubled frown
Turn your eyes to the jugglers and the clowns –
They've never let you down
This is the Golden Age

Show us more, we want spectacle -
Plenty of legroom is what we're asking for
Give us an outrage! Give us an ashtray!
Who could ask for anything more?
Where are my friends?
Where′s all my relations?
What happened to Hilbert?
What happened to Dave?
My calendar′s full but I'm not complaining -
It′s just the agreement that I made

Oh lose that troubled frown
Turn your eyes to the jugglers and the clowns –
They've never let you down
This is the Golden Age
