Slave Lyrics

Habits of the lemmings die hard

Patterns of obsession go far

Digging ditches so they never see the stars

Now all them lessons learned get buried in the yard

And ways of the weapon bombard

Building mountains of them body bags large

Rubbernecking while collision greet your car

And you may know your name but don't know who or what you are

You're a slave

You're a slave

You're a slave

You're a slave

Poised to drink that Kool-Aid suicide

Follow don't get left behind

Don't think, better do just what they certify

You that servant, never choose a side

Vassal of the modern times

And when it all blows up you duck your head and hide

You out there searching for that silver line

But sweat has covered up the signs

Now that fortune came, but it's gone and it passed you by

You plucked your feathers, now you wonder why

You can't lift yourself and fly

Well in the middle of an ocean no one's hands are dry

If that tree fall does it make a sound

Can the world stall from the runaround

Can a mind think if it's in a crowd

Can a soul search if it's never found

And can a thing grow when you cut it down

Can we all find peace in the here and now

You can crawl through the mud with your hands bound

But I'll get plenty of that dirt when I'm underground

You're a slave

You're a slave

You're a slave

And this a slave ship

This a slave ship

Shackled in those chains, whipped

Pushed until you break, fixed

Back into the game quick

March along the pavement

Earn that meager wage, spit

Do just what they say, skip

Work until the pain splits

Let the haze lift

Pull yourself out of that grave pit

And consider how you became sick

All that labor brought you nothing but your bones sore

All that devotion led to nothing but the sweat pours

And now they want more

Own you to the core

Well I don't make laws

But I am not yours

And this a mob call

Let them bricks fall

If you want freedom then just take it, what you waiting for

Don't let your masters tell you this is how it's done

Don't let the wicked fool you, this is how the war is won

That mayhem can't continue if the noble don't succumb

That forest on fire pave the way to what becomes

They tell you disregard the doubts that creeps across your mind

They tell you there is simply nothing more for you to find

They tell you time to wake up and get back into the line

These pyramids don't build themselves, now go resume the grind

I tell 'em I don't follow in the footsteps of insane

I tell 'em I don't trail along a path with no terrain

I tell 'em you can work the fields and bask in all your grain

But for one don't live to work, I will not live in vain

You're a slave

And this a slave ship

You're a slave

And this a slave ship

You're a slave

And this a slave ship

You're a slave

And this a slave ship

This twisted culture got you feeding from it's hand

But you will lose that food if you don't meet all their demands

And loyal is the soldier that gets slaughtered with the lambs

Examining the blueprints got you questioning the plans

And if a man fall, does it make a sound

Will the world stall, from the runaround

Does a mind think, when it in a crowd

How can a soul search, if it's never found

And can a thing breathe if it's always being drowned

Can the leaders of the lost forever disavow

And you can stare at the sky while you on the ground

But I'm a wait until I die to take it lying down

This a mob call, let them bricks fall

This a mob call, now let them bricks fall

This a mob call, let them bricks fall

If you want freedom then just take it

What you waiting for?
