Broken Bones

We as beasts of burden take the fall
Though they'll break our backs, won't share the spoils
Time to put some backs against the wall
Best to stand and die than live and crawl
Though they'll break our bones, they'll break our bones
Though they'll smash our homes, they'll smash our homes
There's a special place in hell reserved for them
We as beasts of burden take the fall
Though they'll break our backs, won't share the spoils
Time to put some backs against the wall
Best to stand and die than live & crawl
Our hands are forced
Against the hordes
Who heard is this all that we're put here for
Just to hoard
Just to hoard
