Leyla McCalla - 'The Capitalist Blues' (Lyrics Video) 

The LYRICS ... You keep telling me to climb this ladder I’ve got to pay me dues But as I rise The stakes get higher I’ve got the Capitalist Blues And if I give everything I won’t have much more to lose I am swimming in an ocean of sharks They are telling me how I’m gonna make My little mark, in this cold, cold world It can be such a cold, cold world You keep telling me to go a little higher Try to take a different view But, you can see I’m not inspired I’ve got the Capitalist Blues And if I give everything I won’t have much more to lose It’s not fair, it’s not right I don’t know what I’m gonna do with my life It’s not fair, it’s not right I wasn’t born to just endure all this strife Tryna make my way, in this cold, cold world It can be such a cold, cold world

Layla McCann a fabulous talent!

Fall 2020 and this song really hits. Thank you Ms. McCalla, I will sign your praise through-out the Pacific Northwest.

This is what we need today!

Thank you so much Leyla for singing the truth ! 💙

Viva zapata and peace and love

Love this to the moon

I've seen this album times ago in a library. Now finally I remembered to listen to this. I LOVE IT

Like the banjo, Leyla Is very talented

This Lady & Consorts is doing very well - go go go. Talent attracts Talent > Quality - Sincerity

Excellent !! Merci France-Inter .

Entendu par hasard ce matin à La Première, RTBf : une révélation. Merci la radio de service public ! Le beat des cuivres, le banjo à deux cordes, la voix, le texte, le BLUES !

Rappelle le blues des années 30 Nostalgie. 😢

I love this!

Oh, sing it my Sister! Thank you so much.

en plus il faut la voir sur scène la comtesse du blues, aux pieds nus : elle emporte toute la salle avec elle . Quelle force dans la simplicité. Réellement authentique et à la recherche de ses racines ( Haïti,...) et de partage avec les les plus grands ( Raphael Imbert ).....quelle originalité cet alto et contrebasse, sonorités peu communes dans le monde du jazz. bravo.Aussi intéressant que son premier album .

Just heard Leyla for the first time last night on Irish radio. Subbed and loving her amazing talent. 👌

aint we all got the damned capitalist blues, the shrinking middle class... Bless the Universe for music such as Leyla's, bless all artists... we NEED them more than ever in draconian economic times... If we have a voice we CAN sing and PROTEST but remain PEACEFUL. Hard to be enraged and make music simultaneously...

Merci France Inter
