Captain Of Industry Lyrics - Catman Cohen

Knew a man, a captain of industry 

Who built his house on pain and human misery 

Had a wife who ran in High Society 

Had several kids living lives oh so thoughtlessly 

And you will never see a house so bloody pretty 

Decked with tapestries in every single hall 

And you will never see a house so bloody stunning 

Made for the man who surely has it all 

But take a closer look and you will find 

His massive gold gates are made from tears 

His investors lost their homes and everything 

Poor investors left with nothing but their fears 

Knew a man, a captain of industry 

Who built his house on pain and human misery 

Elected to the Board of every single civic Symphony 

Attended dinners thrown by every rubber chicken charity 

And you will never see a house so bloody pretty 

Decked with tapestries in every single hall 

And you will never see a house so bloody stunning 

Made for the man who surely has it all 

But take a closer look and you will find 

His driveways paved with bricks of mad despair 

His investors lost their homes and everything 

Poor investors left with nothing but a prayer 

Knew a man, a captain of industry 

Who built his house on pain and human misery 

Died so rich, far beyond his wildest dream 

Alone in his bed, nobody cared to grieve 

Nobody gives a damn about the captain of industry 

Nobdy gives a hoot about the captain of industry 

Nobody gives a piss about the captain of industry 

Nobody gives a fart about the captain of industry 

Living on misery
