Lyrics
Slavery’s not dead; it’s just been redesigned Corrected and perfected; tailored and refined To keep the masses passive, impotent, and dumb Desperate to toil harder just to earn some extra crumbs This is life on the Plantation We need emancipation Why aren’t we up in arms? We’re fucking being farmed Do I need to paint a picture? It’s time you learned the truth From birth you were indentured To a life of servitude They took away the chains; it doesn’t matter what they call it The function is the same; your bonds are in your wallet You’re just another resource; you’re bought and sold like stock You’ll never earn enough to get your sad life out of hock This is life on the Plantation We need emancipation Why aren’t we up in arms? We’re fucking being farmed Do I need to paint a picture? It’s time you learned the truth From birth you were indentured To a life of servitude To stop this tyranny we’ve got to fight it at the source I’m starting to believe that there may be no other means but force Freedom must be taken; it never will be earned... Until the Plantation burns We were not meant to live like this! We were not meant to live like this! Broken, beaten, gagged, and bound Let’s burn this fucker down! We were not meant to live like this! Rise up, riot, and resist! And let the Master know We won’t be fucking owned! This is life on the Plantation We need emancipation Why aren’t we up in arms? We’re fucking being farmed Do I need to paint a picture? It’s time you learned the truth From birth you were indentured To a life of servitude
