Slave Train

(Derin Dow)
People, tell me now, is it worth it
How we give up our hearts to this slave train?
They've put us on, since we were young (you know..)
We'd just begun to live in this war machine, god of economy
You know it tears us apart

They call this America, the land where everybody's free
But when I take a look around me, all I see is misery next to luxury

Slave train, won't you find a new home
Our race is far too consumed by you
Slave train, oh won't you leave us alone
Cause we're quite tired of you

Wages that they pay you won't pay the bills
If you ask for more, they'll just show you the door
You know you're just a dime a dozen
Besides, your hair, it don't look like theirs much anyway

They call this America, the land where everybody's free
But when I take a look around me, all I see is misery and inequality

Slave train, won't you find a new home
Our race is far too consumed by you
Slave train, oh won't you leave us alone
Cause we're quite tired of you

I've tried it all before
I tried it your way more
Slaved in your cubicles of corporate greed
You promised a reward
For my loyalty toward
Your golden idol, but you just let me bleed
Oh, can you hear what I'm sayin'?

Slave train, won't you find a new home
Our race is far too consumed by you
Slave train, won't you leave us alone
Cause we're quite tired of you

Oh, get off the slave train
