lyrics

In a small town born and raised
We spent our time kicking rocks all day
Along came a man full of heartache
He's breaking out backs and yanking our chains

You're stealing and lying
We're born and left to lose
Your babies are crying

Now you'll see
Everyone's gonna get back on their feet
They're at your gates
To shake their fists and dance their lives away
Cause all is gone
We're not born for the ground
We're man made, born a slave

What have we got left to lose?
They'll rob our minds to pay our dues
We'll pinch the pretty pennies up off the ground
You ain't no Jesus, quit playing around
