The slowlane lament
I yearn to make some money, I dream of making good
But I'm working for the boss man who only wants my blood.
A slave to weekly working for a lifetime and a day
No thanks, no hope, no freedom, and all for little pay.
There must be more than paying bills until the day I die
and life is surely more than this, it is the reason why
I dream one day retiring, be free and feel alive
But at present rate of earning that's when I'm eighty five.
To think in early childhood my life was full of dreams,
but now life's regimented, or that's the way it seems.
I wake, I eat, I travel, I work and so return
Repeating five in seven, then spend all that I earn.
Thus keeps me to the grindstone, forever and a day
stopping me from thinking "is there some other way?"
A chance to break these fetters, a way to set me free
Remove these blinkers off me so I can clearly see
There's more to simply working, for the one they call the man
And freedom is just waiting for those who say "I can"
It's time to lose the shackles, it's time to now break free
And if it's going to happen, it all comes down to ME.
