Modern day slavery

from The Working Class Revolution EP by Lee Brickley

lyrics

There ain’t no freedom in a capitalist system
That much I know for sure
If you’re comfortable and you can feed your children
There’s someone starving right next door
You work all day to keep from freezing in the winter
While your masters bomb the world
If you can’t identify this evil right before your eyes
Then your children will take their turn

Cuz this is modern day slavery
Make no mistake you are property
And if you fail to make the state enough money
They’re gonna lock you up and throw away the key

There ain’t no freedom in a capitalist system
You should know that well by now
But thankfully everybody’s starting to listen
And soon we’ll bring it down
And we will find strength in our sisters and our brothers
And the strangers that we meet
There’s a time and place
For ignoring what’s before your face
But that’s passed for now at least

Cuz this is modern day slavery
Make no mistake you are property
And if you fail to make the state enough money
They’re gonna lock you up and throw away the key

There ain’t no freedom in a capitalist system
That much I know for sure
If you’re comfortable and you can feed your children
There’s someone starving right next door
You work all day to keep from freezing in the winter
While your masters bomb the world
If you can’t identify this evil right before your eyes
Then your children will take their turn

Cuz this is modern day slavery
Make no mistake you are property
And if you fail to make the state enough money
They’re gonna lock you up and throw away the key

Cuz this is modern day slavery
Make no mistake you are property
And if you fail to make the state enough money
They’re gonna lock you up and throw away the key
