Slave/Steve Arrington Lyrics

The road before you see it coming
The future is uncertain, but it's important to be aware of the possibilities.

Everything is there
All the elements for change and progress are present.

A change is necessary
The status quo is unacceptable and needs to be improved.

A better nation's in the air
There is a vision for a better society that can be achieved through change.

All around you vicious barracudas
There are people out there who will exploit and harm you for their own gain.

Tearing out your back
These people will stop at nothing to get what they want, even if it means hurting others.

A sleazy manifesto
These people have a twisted set of beliefs and values that justify their actions.

Feeds the revolution that you lack
Their corrupt ideology appeals to those who feel disillusioned with the current system and seek change.

Dirty hands are itching
Those who seek power and control are eager to get their hands dirty.

Dirty eyes are glowing in your path
Their greed and ambition is evident in their eyes and demeanor.

Weasel minds are working
These people are cunning and deceptive in their tactics.

Dreaming dollar signs that last and last
Their main focus is accumulating wealth and material possessions at any cost.

Promising the sky
They make grand promises that they know they can't keep, but people are desperate for change.

Chasing the ambulance of plastic life
They are willing to do whatever it takes to attain their shallow version of success and happiness.

They light the fires inside your brain
These manipulative people can inspire passion and zeal in those who follow them.

And what it is, I can't explain
It's not always clear what motivates people to follow corrupt leaders.

You must believe in all you do
It's important to have conviction and a sense of purpose when seeking change.

That better days are coming soon
Change is possible and will lead to a better future.

So open up your very soul
Be vulnerable and sincere in your pursuit of change.

And lay it out, they will behold
Be transparent and honest about your intentions and beliefs.

And if you do, you'll never be
If you are true to yourself and your values, you won't become a slave to the corrupt system.

A slave to the system
Those who are consumed by power and greed are enslaved to the corrupt system.

Speak in quips and phrases
Those in power use language in a manipulative and deceptive way.

Cryptic and distinguished, heart and soul
Their language is complex and sophisticated, but their true intentions are selfish and corrupt.

Now the backs are breaking
The corrupt system is taking a toll on the people who support it, both physically and emotionally.

Feel the pressure and do as you're told
Those in power exert immense pressure and control over their followers.

Crawling out of corporate vacuums
People are starting to realize that the corporate system has failed them and seek change.

Now they've got you by the balls
Those in power have a firm grip on their followers and won't easily let go.

Just another black hole
The corrupt system is a never-ending cycle of greed and corruption.

For believers like yourself to fall
People who are desperate for change are likely to be lured by the false promises of those in power.

Now the world is listening
The time for change is now, and people are starting to pay attention.

Tell them something that they may not know
It's important to share new ideas and perspectives that can help bring about change.

The minions and their grand delusions
Those who blindly follow corrupt leaders are deluded and misguided.

Always come and go
People who wield power and influence will eventually be replaced by those who seek change and progress.

We're beaming down by satellite
Technology has made it easier to share information and ideas across great distances.

This guerrilla warfare point of view
Those seeking change often have to adopt unconventional and disruptive tactics to make progress.

Manipulate the monster
Those in power will do anything to maintain their grip on the corrupt system.

Before it brings a change in you
If you don't take action and seek change, you will become complicit in the corrupt system.

We're all slaves
In some way or another, we are all subject to the corrupt system.

Slave to the system
We are enslaved by the corrupt system, but we have the power to seek change and break free.
