(If the workers took a notion/They could stop all speeding trains/ Every ship upon the ocean/ They can tie with mighty chains/ Every wheel in the creation/ Every mine and every mill,/ Fleets and armies of the nation/ Will at their command stand still)
Look at me, see me, and perceive me/ Don’t turn your head (away)/ I am a slave and I serve you/ I don’t feel ashamed/ I wake, I work, I rest; wake, work, rest/ My salvation comes with (my) freedom or (your) death/ Why do I give my time to people who don’t care if I live or die?/ Oh, why do I smile at people who I’d (rather) kick in the eye?/ What holds me back from leaving behind all this shit?/ What keeps me on my knees?/ What’d make me finally stand?/ What I produce why do you own?/ Of my freedom my time why do you dispose?/(They’re) keeping us silent with monthly rewards, but one day the scum will rise and start to revolt!
Those who devote their lives to earning a living are incapable of living a human existence.
All (human) animals are equal, but some (human) animals are more equal than others. Every job is a job, but some jobs are harder, shittier and worse paid than others. Nevertheless they got done. Most men today cannot conceive of a freedom that does not involve somebody's slavery.
