Lyrics Modern Day Slaves - The Casualties

Modern Day Slaves

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!
