Proper Serf - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I was born in this prison, and I’m just here to work

What can be taken from me is all that I’m worth

The system is around me and compels me to conform

I was given a duty and put here to perform

The system is around me and compels me to comply

They said I must not speak, and I must never cry

They said I have no needs, so I must not complain

And if I try to fight, then it’s all in vain

When my shift is done, I’m not needed anymore

Kept in a little box, that I’ve been calling home

Just a few things inside that I could buy for me

Given just enough freedom to make me think I’m free

[Pre-Chorus]

My body crumbles

[Chorus]

My body crumbles, my spirit is destroyed

My brain has turned to mush, there’s nothing to be enjoyed

I can’t live this life, not what I deserve

If I’m not quite a slave, then I’m a proper serf

Everyday is the same, I’m running out of health

I want to run away, but there is nowhere else

They tell me I am free, but I’m just here to serve

If I’m not quite a slave, then I’m a proper serf

[Post-Chorus]

Then I’m a proper serf

[Verse 2]

I was born in a cage, but I’m not the only one

There’s billions like me, living under loaded gun

We have invisible owners, we do not know them

Under the illusion of freedom, our mind is kept frozen

It might look like all is calm, let to live, no harm is done

But I’m coming to realize, that this world, is like a farm…

I’m just the cow drained from the titty

I become the patty ‘cause I am just a piggy

I’m the chicken stuffed in the cage

Alive only… to become nugget when they crave

Nothing but one more in an endless supply

Of men to bleed until they die

[Pre-Chorus]

My body crumbles

[Chorus]

My body crumbles, my spirit is destroyed

My brain has turned to mush, there’s nothing to be enjoyed

I can’t live this life, not what I deserve

If I’m not quite a slave, then I’m a proper serf

Everyday is the same, I’m running out of health

I want to run away, but there is nowhere else

They tell me I am free, but I’m just here to serve

If I’m not quite a slave, then I’m a proper serf

[Post-Chorus]

Then I’m a proper serf

[Bridge]

I’m just a serf, just a serf

A little cog in this system

You’re just a serf, just a serf

You think you’re free? That’s what you think?

[Chorus]

My body crumbles, my spirit is destroyed

My brain has turned to mush, there’s nothing to be enjoyed

I can’t live this life, not what I deserve

If I’m not quite a slave, then I’m a proper serf

Everyday is the same, I’m running out of health

I want to run away, but there is nowhere else

They tell me I am free, but I’m just here to serve

If I’m not quite a slave, then I’m a proper serf
