You made yourself a slave to the man

You made yourself a slave to beer can

You made yourself a slave to the crack

You made yourself a slave to the payback

You made yourself a slave to herd

You made yourself a slave to wrong words

You made yourself a slave to hate

You made yourself a slave to going rate

You made yourself a slave to grass

You made yourself a slave to wrong ass

You made yourself a slave to vd

You made yourself a slave to tv

You made yourself a slave to grind

You made yourself a slave to wrong minds

You made yourself a slave to a fake god

You made yourself a slave to the cash wad

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up

...and get down

What's the price you pay for being a slave

What's the price you pay for the roads you don't pave

What's the price you pay for being cool

What's the price you pay for being a fool

What's the price you pay for being dumb

What's the price you pay for getting some

What's the price you pay for being asleep

What's the price you pay for not making a peep

What's the price you pay for being greedy

What's the price you pay for ignoring the needy

What's the price you pay for hating the ladies

What's the price you pay for not feeding the babies

What's the price you pay for being numb

What's the price you pay for dropping the bomb

What's the price you pay for being a slave

What's the price you pay for the lives you don't save

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up

...and get down

It destroys your goals to be such a fool

It steals your soul to be such a fool

It eats your mind to be such a fool

It burns your eyes blind to be such a fool

It ends your schemes to be such a fool

It crushes your dreams to be such a fool

It costs you your name to be such a fool

It makes you lame to be such a fool

It takes all your power to be such a fool

It makes you a coward to be such a fool

It cuts you like a knife to be such a fool

It ends your fucking life to be such a fool

It spends all your ends to be such a fool

It drives away all your friends to be such a fool

It makes you a slave to be such a fool

It drives you to your fucking grave to be such a fool

Get up, get up, get up, get up

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Stand up, stand up, stand up, stand up

...and get down
