I'm a slave,
I work 12 hours a day,
Not every day,
But almost every day,
I'd wipe off all my sweat,
But that looks too much like rest,
And I get enough of that at home,

I’m a drone,
I’m never left alone,
I’m always being watched,
But my boss he works from home,
I could clutch my chest and die,
And he wouldn’t blink an eye,
But I’d be replaced in half an hour,

I’m not compensated for the value of my labour,
So, why does my employer feel he’s doing me a favour,

I’m a pawn,
A gnome upon a lawn,
I don’t remember what it’s like,
To be asleep by dawn,
If I could have my way,
I’d be out of here today,
But I’d just belong to someone else,

I’m not compensated for the value of my labour,
So, why does my employer feel he’s doing me a favour,

I’m not gonna bend,
I don’t like the taste of leather,
And I don’t wanna spend,
Two thirds of my life inside a,
Rich man’s concrete jail,
Breathing in asbestos dust,
Until I feel my breathing start to slow,

I’m a husk,
I work for Elon Musk,
I’m underpaid and overworked,
My union just went bust,
I’m asked to stay behind,
For the good of all mankind,
But especially the shareholders,

I’m not gonna bend,
I don’t like the taste of leather,
And I refuse to spend,
Two thirds of my life inside a,
Rich man’s concrete grave,
Breathing in asbestos dust,
Until my pay cheques stop,
And I see the darkness closing in on me
