The Modern Slave

Daddy's got a lust for money yeah And he will do anything and everything he can He's got to get some He will step on anybody Take away anything and everything they have Have have have anything they ever have A man is sold the dream of gold and greed it guides the way He'll stab you in the back with a baseball bat Momma, Daddy's gonna be home late They've redefined the meaning of democracy Everyone unhappy in a money mad society In a world designed to feed the aristocracy Can somebody help me, somebody help me find a way Somebody help me, somebody come and help me find a way Somebody help me, somebody come and help me find a way Momma wants a home Daddy wants a car to drive They've to participate in this fucked up system or prepare to be left behind They gotta conform And they better abide A cold bus stop in the rain for the corporate victim Is a beautiful day for the corporate slime A man is made to work all day and bleed his life away The bank's gotten hold of the government's soul They picked the pocket of the human race They've redefined the meaning of democracy Everyone unhappy in a money mad society In a world designed to feed the aristocracy Can somebody help me, somebody help me find a way Its the same ole song The modern slave Give you just enough so you don't disobey Force you to work To participate Control what you think and ignore what you say Money leads to war Corruption and lies Money makes us whores everyone's got their price We're tired of struggle The meaningless days Where torment and trouble is all that remains inside
