"Slaves" lyrics
"Slaves"
Slaves pickin' cocoa off a plant down in Ghana
Slaves, Nestle got a good deal on the farm, yea
Slaves digging cobalt in pit in the Congo
Slaves making environmentally friendly cars go
Slaves on the highway tryin' not to get hit
In Alabama in orange jumpsuits
Pickin' up random shit
Slaves in plain sight in the US of A
Slaves, well ain't it nice they let 'em out for the day?
Slaves sewing gussets in a factory
Slaves sewing clothes for you and me
Slaves keep-a workin' 'cause they're so damn afraid of ya
In an Amazon warehouse out in Saudi Arabia
Oh, oh-oh, oh
I mean, I don't know where it comes from
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Slaves, sho-be-do-wop
Oh, sho-be-do-wop
Slaves, sho-be-do-wop
Sho-be-do-wop
Oh, slaves, sho-be-do-wop
Sho-be-do-wop
Oh, slaves
La-la la-la, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Slaves, if you don't get that chicken gutted stat
Cargill's sending your child slave ass back home on a raft
Every corporation's got some blood on their hands
Now, I've got blood on my phone
And blood on my pants
The dollar bill's a killer, it's bigger than man
It ain't never felt better to be American
Slaves, sho-be-do-wop
Oh, sho-be-do-wop
Slaves, sho-be-do-wop
Oh, sho-be-do-wop
Slaves, sho-be-do-wop
Oh, sho-be-do-wop
La-ah-ah-ah
La-ah-ah-ah

Ramshackle Glory - "Of Ballots and Barricades" I got Arizona residency one day too late
To vote on this election day
Every year before I've been too drunk to register

The path set before us is littered with hate

Amigo The Devil - "Hanging By The Roots" His hands were both tied
He smiled at his daughter
They all knew it would come to this day
