Don't go down to servitude
This is how the crafty capture you
Snare your soul and your days
If you sit down at their tables
You will taste delights while they
Like wild parasites
s** dry their prey
Don't go down, don't go down
Don't go down that way
Do without, do without
Don't go down that way
Cunning voices say, "Don't fear
You'll be making more this time next year
We all rise in the world
Borrowed water's doubly sweet
You deserve the best of everything
Open wide your hand."
Don't go down, don't go down
Don't go down that way
Go without, go without
Don't go down that way
Don't go play the poor man's part
This is how the greedy hollow out your heart
Drink your blood and lick their lips
If you step into their nets
You will know the sinking sorrow of regret
As they feast on your bones
Don't go down, don't go down
Don't go down that way
Turn around, turn around
Don't go down that way
