lyrics

There used to be a different way
But it's gone the way of the dodo
They didn't sweep it up in a day
They just chipped it away in slow-mo

We made a mess of it from the start
It didn't go the way that we planned it
Busting heads and trampling hearts
Until nobody left could stand it

It was so easy making a scare
They just pointed to the disaster
They said "You don't wanna end up there,
So you better obey your master"

And then they took us on quite a ride
And it left everybody reeling
But when you're not on the winning side
Then you get left with a hopeless feeling

It isn't easy being the boss?
It's even harder to to all the labour
When we think of slavery's cost
We don't feel the pain of the slaver.
