Slavery (1988 Demo)

[Verse 1]
Don't just stand there
Sweep up the floor
Then you can empty the trash
When that's done, there's more
On this list for you
You've got no time to take a rest

[Chorus]
My hands are clenched
In fists of rage
I am a slave
For minimum wage

[Verse 2]
Tonight, you work until close
Tomorrow morning
You will open up
Forty hours a week takes up
Your whole week
We don't want you to have a life

[Chorus]
My hands are clenched
In fists of rage
I am a slave
For minimum wage

[Bridge]
They're okay until you work
Then you're treated like a jerk
Every time you make a mistake
You know that you've been misled
This job has you seeing red
Always give and never, ever take
This billion-dollar industry
Can't survive without you and me
You'd think they'd have to give us a break
But most people still kiss ass
Stupidity's enduring mass
A vast supply from which to take

[Chorus]
My hands are clenched
In fists of rage
I am a slave
For minimum wage

[Outro]
There's only so much I can take
Always being treated like shit
While I sweat
Someone behind the desk gets rich
Take your job
And shove it up your ass!
