THE CAPITALIST KIDS LYRICS

"Ayn"

Ayn, Ayn, Ayn
such a remarkable mind
novelist, philosopher, sociopath combined
she was born in old St. Petersburg, Alisa Rosenbaum
moved out to America, made Hollywood her home
wrote some books
influenced crooks
like Clarence Thomas and Alan Greenspan
the darling of the rightwing fundamentalists, Ms. Rand

Ayn, Ayn, Ayn
the critics were so unkind
they didn't see your genius
you thought that they were blind
but Ayn, Ayn, Ayn
your books sold just fine
and flying in the face of logic, sales have not declined
now we're seeing a resurgence in your popularity
but it's a shame to think about all the better books that people could read

Ayn, Ayn, Ayn
it's so hard to divine
how you've fooled so many people for such a long, long time
after all these many years
still garnering new fans
carrying around the Foutainhead
pronouncing your name "Ann"
holy heck!
now Glenn Beck plugs your books on his show
I didn't think that his viewers could read
but you never know

Ayn, Ayn, Ayn
protagonists with spine
the spoils go to the supermen, the rest can wait in line
Ayn, Ayn, Ayn
Objectivism defined
as fuck everyone else, as long as I've got mine
