lyrics

Licking pesticide residue off unsuspecting finger tips
Little did you know the soil in which this food is grown is drenched in blood
Innocent blood

Which of your values are you going to cash in for a profit
How much are you willing to give up for a lousy buck

and You swore you were different and for a minute I believed it

But you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing
Standing right in front of me
a monster hiding in plain sight
And you couldn’t stop the greed
Oh don’t you see that you’ve become exactly what you were fighting

Shake the shackles off my ankles and my wrists
Remind myself I don’t deserve this
and They’ll see how far they can stretch you thin
until you’re shaking, shaking from exhaustion
and David picks up pennies while he’s sweeping
Says that’s how he affords to keep eating on the days before we get paid
When will the minimum become a living wage

Food’s a right not a privilege and I’m tired of working to survive
Grasping for something real I can barely keep my head above
I’m drowning in it all

Cut labor
double output
You’re just another piece of their
well oiled machine
And they won’t call it slavery cause this is voluntary
But is it really
Oh is it really
