What’s the use in trying,
you’re so tired,
impaired
What’s the use in looking up,
when you don’t got air
Clap your hands to the beat of my drum, the machine drum, yeah
C.A.P., got the best of you and me we got cozy and lost ourselves in midst of the machine that they told would be, C.A.P., got the best of you and me we got lazy
C.A.P., you stolen all the money
C.A.P., you got the best of you and me
You stolen all the money You need me to run, you need me to run,
You need me to run, you need me to run
What’s the use in begging,
when a king don’t share
What’s the use in praying,
when your god don’t care
Clap your hands to the beat of my drum, the machine drum, yeah
C.A.P., got the best of you and me we got cozy and lost ourselves in midst of the machine that they told would be, C.A.P., got the best of you and me, we got lonely
C.A.P., you stolen all the money
C.A.P., you got the best of you and me
You stolen all the money You need me to run, you need me to run,
You need me to run, you need me to run
Into the night, night, night,
I’m sick of the sunshine
Into the night, night, night,
I’m sick of the sunshine
Into the night, night, night,
I’m sick of the sunshine
Into the night, night, night,
I’m sick
C.A.P., you stolen all the money
C.A.P., you got the best of you and me
You stolen all the money You need me to run, you need me to run,
You need me to run, you need me to run
