If you think about it, the song starts with the oppressor speaking, acknowledging the people's struggle...then the people respond with "we got the whip - we got a Better bomb". BETTER, being the key word. See people don't have bombs, rulers do. The people now have a "better bomb" than The oppresors to fight back. Bomb as in Unity through Music, fellowship, integrity, respect for individual freedom and common values.

Just a thought.

True. This song applies to all oppressors, Globally. We've all been slaves at some time and tbh we are all slaves today, what with neverending taxes, unjust laws & regulations which is submission by force.

Just a thought

And yes, they have the balls to enslave us, so you're damn right - we're gonna string them up!
