- Shackled and fettered in chains
- Sacrificed body and brains
- Hooked up straight into my vein
- Labour gets sucked down the drain
- Only for capital gain
- Ignoring my illness and pain
- Begging and pleading in vain
- Silenced each time I complain
- Speak up considered profane
- Hours each day on the train
- Ever extinguishing flame
- My number is now my new name
- Whispers in secret start swayin’
- Conspirators also are sayin’
- All of us no longer playin’
- Time for the head to start payin’
- Together our voices outweighin’
- As long as we’re standin’ and stayin’
- Our message more strongly conveyin’
- Power and strength we’re displayin’
- This isn’t pretend we’re portrayin’
- No longer on us are they preyin’
- Instead, they are cowerin’, prayin’
- The shackles and fetters decayin’
