Subject: ADD Capitalist without a Soul (Dan Berggren) From: Joe Offer Date: 06 Oct 20 - 05:31 PM What a great song! For the record, here are the lyrics, from the Website of Anne Leighton: https://anneleightonmedia.blogspot.com/2018/01/capitalist-without-soul-and-empowerment.html CAPITALIST WITHOUT A SOUL is another hummable topical song from Adirondack songwriter laureate Dan Berggren. With images of ways people have been ripped off through the years in this song, like: “hands in your pocket, thumb on the scale,” the hook is “a capitalist without a soul.” This banjo ditty features the telling lyrics: I sold my soul guilt free” AND “Maybe there’s a small loophole for a capitalist without a soul.” CAPITALIST WITHOUT A SOUL (Dan Berggren) Hand in your pocket, thumb on the scale Make me an offer, it’s all for sale Where conscience was, now there’s a hole I’m a capitalist without a soul When savings all go down the drain When your loss becomes my gain So what? I say. That’s my goal I’m a capitalist without a soul When I was born I had a soul But I sold it for a big bankroll Scheming all around the rules Stealing dreams from poor fools It’s not Robin Hood at your door I steal from both the rich and poor But that’s just me - playing my role I’m a capitalist without a soul I’ve always done just what I please Brought the economy to its knees When no one looked, I took control I’m a capitalist without a soul I sold my soul now I’m guilt free My commerce lacks morality Gandhi said that was a sin But I’ll do anything to win Laissez faire, hands off my pile It’ll trickle down after a while That’s if oversight takes its toll I’m a capitalist without a soul If my fortune’s ever lost I wonder what a soul would cost Maybe there’s a small loophole For a capitalist without a soul © 2012 Dan Berggren / Berggren Music (BMI) tune based on Cotton Eyed Joe, All Rights Reserved Contact: Anne Leighton: 718-881-8183, LeightonMedia@aol.com, Anne@AnneLeighton.com
