Lyrics
One, two, a one, two, three, four
Things were rather different in great-grandfather's day
He just put a chain around their ankles
And made them work for no pay
He took everything they owned
And yet still demanded more
He did a bloody good job
In taming the poor
Now I'm rather more subtle, I say
I'll tell you what I will do
I'll do everything I can
To try and help you
And you'll be helping me, I say
And I'll see that you're alright
You can have a place of your own
You can even pretend to be white
And you won't have to worry
I'll have a quiet word with your mates
Oh, they'll be alright
They'll have enough on their plate
I'll put a bit in their mouth
You just pull hard on the reins
They'll do anything for you
And they won't complain
You'll be so much better off, I say
You can share my paradise
Just sign my piece of paper
And I'll organise your life
And it never fails, it does the trick
It works every time
So me and my dear wife
And the family's doing fine
Great grandad got his dukedom
When slavery was abolished
Dear old dad became a viscount
When the empire was finished
But times have changed for the better
With freedom of choice
We're a thousand times richer
Q.E.D. his master's voice
A dog stares into a grandpa trumpet
Waits for his call to action
Mute and obedient
Standing to attention
Look a little closer
The dog is a woman
She's working hard for a system
That she can't understand
Trapped inside a world
Of labor and heat
So that she and her children
Will be able to eat
The truth of this contract is old and fixed
Where poor men are lured by the desire to be rich
Where limited power is not given to men
Where development aid is not wastefully spent
Where work and education enforces this crap
Where women work in the open yet live in a trap
There's one solution and this is it
So, don't get caught in the drama, fam
And talk your shit
