lyrics

I’m a slave
It’s all I crave
The smoke and haze, an endless maze
It’s all the rage, it’s comfort for the caged

I’m a slave
‘Cause truth is only for the brave
I heed no call, I won’t be swayed
I’m tethered to the wall of Plato’s cave

And I’m a slave now honey
My master’s name is money
I’ve made the grade, my way is paved
It’s all just one more step closer to my grave

I’m a slave
To the up and down of human fate
I’m chained and bound unto the wheel
I’m caught under the weight of gravity’s heel

I’m a slave
But the mule’s broke and won’t behave
I work the steel against the stone
My soul and fingers bleed down to the bone

And I’m a slave
But in who’s house do I lay my faith?
It’s my only choice and time will tell
But I’d rather be a slave in heaven than a king in hell
