[Intro – spoken, very slow, neutral] They say it calmly. Like gravity. Like weather. “Capitalism must evolve.” [Verse 1] They frame it as progress, as something you can’t oppose. A neutral force, a future that simply “goes”. No mention of choice, no mention of who decides. Just charts moving upward while livelihoods slide. They call it innovation, they call it efficiency. They never call it what it is: risk transferred quietly. [Pre-Chorus] When power says “evolve”, it doesn’t mean transform. It means adapt to the damage or be left behind by the storm. [Chorus – slow, heavy, declarative] Capitalism must evolve, they say it clean and clear. What they mean is: you will carry the fear. Capitalism must evolve, no pause, no debate. Adapt to the system— or become obsolete. [Verse 2] They survived globalization, they survived every crash. Not by working harder— by never being the ones who pay. AI replaces the middle, the floor drops another level. Same pattern, new language, same altar, different devil. They don’t fear disruption, they monetize the fall. When they say “we need to confront this”, they mean “manage you through it all”. [Pre-Chorus 2] They don’t say “we caused this”. They don’t say “we’ll lose too”. Evolution is painless when it’s happening to you. [Chorus – variation] Capitalism must evolve, so stay flexible, stay calm. The system will be fine— it’s your life that must adapt. Capitalism must evolve, and you’ll be told it’s fair. Progress always sounds humane when someone else pays the share. [Bridge – spoken, stripped, cold] Every time power announces inevitability, ask one question: Who becomes expendable in this version of “progress”? [Final Chorus – deeper, slower] Capitalism must evolve, they repeat the phrase. Until survival feels like failure and obedience feels like grace. But evolution without consent is not growth— it’s control. [Outro – spoken, calm] When the architects of the system talk about evolution, remember: Systems don’t evolve. People are pushed.
