CEOs
By Nate Bernardini

CEOs! Do your dance!
Capitalism remains in your favor!

Well in a world of obligations
You don’t have the right to choose.
They use your home as means of ransom
If you cannot pay your dues.
Live your life in such a way that
Bills are never getting paid,
Police will come, sell your stuff
Throw you on the streets!

So do this, do that, do this, do that,
Do this, do that, too.
If you don’t, legislation is
Gonna make sure you lose.
So work for your money,
And live for your money,
Make the rich even richer,
So that you can have some money
To give back to the rich.

CEOs! Do your dance!
Capitalism remains in your favor!
I said 1%! I said do your dance!
I said do your thang!
But no one’s dancing here,
These crowds are standing still.
This kind of poverty
Well it never had to be.

In a world of obligations,
You have the right to choose
Where you want to spend your money,
But we give it to the few
Inventing new technology
And forming our society
Thinking it’s necessity,
We sacrifice our salaries.

So pay this, pay that, pay this, pay that,
Pay this, pay that, too.
If you don’t, legislation is
Gonna make sure you lose.
So work for your money,
And live for your money,
Make the rich even richer
So that you can have that money
For that smartphone
Bought with that sweet loan.

CEOs! Do your dance!
Capitalism remains in your favor.
Said 1%! Do your dance!
Do your thang!
But no one’s dancing here,
These crowds are standing still.
This kind of poverty
It never had to be.

Well in a world of obligations
Exploitation is the key.
You take advantage of the poorest,
Pay as little as you please.
Some say this is fair and good,
I say that it’s a crime they should
Be locked and cuffed
With all their stuff
Thrown out on the streets!

They do this, do that, do this, do that,
Do what they want to.
If they break the law, it’s alright,
Legislation is for fools
Who work for their money
And live for their money
Make the rich even richer
So that they can have more money
That they don’t spend
To help the homeless.

CEOs! Do your dance!
Capitalism remains in your favor.
Said 1%! I said do your dance!
Come on! Do your thang!
But no one’s dancing here,
These crowds are standing still
This kind of poverty
Well it never had to be.

about

The One Day Fly image

The One Day Fly Germersheim, Germany

The One Day Fly is not a cover band. They only perform original music – not to annoy their audience but to make more room for local, independent music. Tackling subjects like capitalist exploitation, dancing on moonlit beaches and shopping for love online, their songs paint an ever-changing picture of western society and the complex human condition. ... more
