I'm Going to Work On Maggie's Farm Forever |
I worked in her fields |
and under her trees |
I picked all her cotton |
it stung me like bees |
I shoveled her dirt |
when no one else would |
I gave her way more |
than I ever should |
and I’m still here with nothing |
whatsoever |
So I’m gonna work on Maggie’s farm forever |
I ground down my knuckles for nothing at all |
I’ve worked on my knees till i couldn’t crawl |
I’ve felt so worthless I can hardly recall |
a time before she had me trapped in her wall |
the odds of me leaving are slim to almost never |
yeah I’m gonna work on Maggie’s farm forever |
I’ve thought to myself in the darkest of nights |
of freedom above me where all is alright |
But I wake up so cold on a cracked wooden floor |
and I’ve got to admit I’m not sure anymore |
yeah i live in this endless misery however, |
yeah I’m gonna work on Maggie’s farm forever |
I’ve dreamed to myself with no one around |
of burning her plantation down to the ground |
and watching her scream from her 3rd story room |
and light up my shovel wheelbarrow and broom |
all burned the point you could never exhume |
a filthiest past one could ever endure |
and her ashes will smolder the finest perfume |
if i have the strength to get out of this room |
i know no other living whatsoever |
i’m gonna work on maggie’s farm forever. |
I’m gonna work on maggie’s farm forever |
