Industrial Emancipation
industrial emancipation
these walls
these machines
this endless, tiresome burden
these are his machines
his tools
his way
--let him fight alone
women have their own battle
the drumming
the beating
of machines
the screaming
"Did I want this freedom?"
the crap they feed us
this iron cage
torturous and mad
the walls are bleeding
and the machines are beating
"Did I want this freedom?"
the drumming
the beating
of machines
the screaming
"Did I want this freedom?"
walls moving in motion
dizzing and confusing
the machines are eating
my beating heart
"Did I want this freedom?"
the drumming
the beating
of machines
the screaming
"Did I want this freedom?"
the drumming
the beating
of machines
the screaming
"Did I want this freedom?"
the crap they feed us
