Lyrics

To increase your income out of
Nothing
You’ve got to have
Privacy at home —
Detachment
‘I want to be free
Free: like a bird in a tree.’
My viewpoint is sociological
And historical
‘I want to be free
Free: like a bird in a tree.’
Three times riper in the U.S.A
Three times riper in the U.S.A
Is a ridiculous idea
Maturing conditions of change
Derange;
Objective contradictions
Independent contradictions
Can’t grow
Three times riper in the U.S.A
Is a ridiculous idea
(Three categories.)
‘C’, ‘V’ and ‘D’ are fundamental
‘D’ should be ‘S’ but it’s inconsequential
‘C’ is constant capital
‘V’ is varied capital
‘D’ is surplus value
‘C’ is the produced
Means of production
‘V’ is wages and
‘D’ is the excess of
(The) net production
The profit rate is
‘D’ over ‘C’ plus ‘V’
As a long term tendency
A central argument
That ‘C’ grows more rapidly
Than ‘V’ but ‘D’
Can’t be an influence
For ‘V’ against ‘C’
‘C’ plus ‘V’
Rises faster than traditions
Numerator ‘D’:
But we must reject the
Argument
As formally inconsistent
And politically
Irrelevant
