lyrics

I felt pressured to work
On the flaws you can't see
The voice in the background
Screamed like a banshee
"You can't own nothing
Only locks but no key
Break your back in the swamp
But don't expect to leave"

It's a broken headed promise
The same one you taught us to obey
It's a broken headed promise
The same one you asked us to pray

Salt mines are nothing
Light reaches the caves
Dock work is easy
Your body breaks the waves
Pyramids are painless
Just remember the slaves
Ditch digging is simple
Your fingers dig the graves

It's a broken headed promise
The same one you told us was the way
It's a broken headed promise
The same one you swore you'd repay
