Riverside - New Generation Slave Lyrics
Into this worldI cameFilled with fearCrying all the timeI guess my birthLeft a great scarOn my heart and mindNow I hand-pick cottonAnd struggle to sing"I am happy and I do what I like"But my voice breaksAnd I start to hateMy singingAnd simply everyoneMama told meBe goodWork hardAnd love Mr. GodEvery SundayI lieTrying to realize whyAin't nothing more to sayYour HonorDon't look at me like thatThe truth isI am a free manBut I can't enjoy my life***I came to a standstillWith lies and hopes inside my headAlways seemed too late to turnAnd too soon to understandNo, I don’t have a stomach acheIt's just my face...I got stuckI ran agroundI got used to spewing bileI wonder whether all those yearsHadn't been a waste of timeSo how am I doing?Oh, I CAN complainSmoke too many cigarettesBut I don't care...
