The Casualties - Modern Day Slaves lyrics

The American Dream A life of comfort Earn and you shall pay! They're game we're bred And forced to play Early on, we're taught to dream Dependence in disguise! Break your back for someone else They record every dollar you earn MODERN DAY SLAVE For education-train to live their way MODERN DAY SLAVE To own your home-their deadlines you obey MODERN DAY SLAVE To drive your car-independence or a leash? MODERN DAY SLAVE To spend your money PRISON WITH INVISIBLE BARS Every day-work so hard Earn and you shall pay! Cherish everything money buys This is the price you pay for freedom Are you really free? A shackle on your name! Early on, we're taught to dream Dependence in disguise! Break your back for someone else They record every dollar you earn MODERN DAY SLAVE For education-train to live their way MODERN DAY SLAVE To own your home-their deadlines you obey MODERN DAY SLAVE To drive your car-independence or a leash? MODERN DAY SLAVE To spend your money PRISON WITH INVISIBLE BARS WE ARE MODERN DAY SLAVES!
