Modern Day Slaves Songtext
von The Casualties

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!
