Lyrics
The Work Ethic Myth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We have paved the roads that have led to our own oppression.
fear of the unknown,
of rejection,
has put brutes and villains in power.
the fetters that restrict our arms and throats were cast by our own hands,
just as we have set our own guards at the door.
we drag boulders a thousand leagues to erect their palaces.
we have established a system of education that celebrates sacrifice and creates generations of slaves.
hold hands in a ritual of deception.
hold hands in a ritual of desolation.
hold hands in a ritual of self destruction.
we are the accomplice class: footstools for our masters,
spineless bastards all.
