Modern Day Slaves - The Casualties

The American Dream

A life of comfort

Earn and you shall pay!

They’re game we’re bred

And forced to play

Early on, we’re taught to dream

Dependence in disguise!

Break your back for someone else

They record every dollar you earn

MODERN DAY SLAVE

For education-train to live their way

MODERN DAY SLAVE

To own your home-their deadlines you obey

MODERN DAY SLAVE

To drive your car-independence or a leash?

MODERN DAY SLAVE

To spend your money

PRISON WITH INVISIBLE BARS

Every day-work so hard

Earn and you shall pay!

Cherish everything money buys

This is the price you pay for freedom

Are you really free?

A shackle on your name!

Early on, we’re taught to dream

Dependence in disguise!

Break your back for someone else

They record every dollar you earn

MODERN DAY SLAVE

For education-train to live their way

MODERN DAY SLAVE

To own your home-their deadlines you obey

MODERN DAY SLAVE

To drive your car-independence or a leash?

MODERN DAY SLAVE

To spend your money

PRISON WITH INVISIBLE BARS

WE ARE MODERN DAY SLAVES!
