Slavery Train

Rolling on the tracks Faster than the eye can see Heading somewhere A place where we can be free We have no time to waste Soon they’ll be looking for us Going town to town If they don’t find us, they’ll have a fuss Riding in the cars Being quiet as we can be Waiting for the next stop We’ll all be ready to be free Were happy to be alive To be able to escape the fears Knowing that we were dying slowly Crying all those tears Being beaten to the inch of our lives For doing what we were told Our lives being torn apart Like a pair of pants unfold Pouring out of the train Heading to the outskirts of town Getting away from all of the commotion All of the smiles turn into frowns Now we are really happy As happy as we will ever be Heading somewhere A place where we can be free
