inching forward single file
immune to the malaria mosquito haze
on the deck of a slaver
one more time you strain your neck
for one last glimpse of your young fine wife
tied ankle to ankle
boarding a different ship
fast forward two hundred years
the dutch fist has adjusted it's grip
the bank branch fat manages bosses
are using credit like they used to use a whip
chorus (repeats in background):
they change your name
they make you pay
they took your family tree
but they can't spare you a house
it's half a million at least
and you may take this sitting down
in gary, indiana when you get off the train
consider bringing a whip to help to hunt them down
old fashioned pain
