Material world
|
|
You in your fancy
|
Material world
|
Don't see the links of chain
|
Binding blood
|
|
Our own ancestors
|
Are hungry ghosts
|
Closets so full of bones
|
They won't close
|
|
Call it upward mobility
|
But you've been sold down the river
|
Just another form of slavery
|
And the whole man-made white world
|
Is your master
|
|
You in your fancy
|
Material world
|
Create in your own image
|
A supreme god
|
|
Your virgin mary
|
Your holy ghosts
|
Claimed to be pure of heart
|
Have hands that are stained with blood
|
|
You in your fancy
|
Material world
|
Don't see the links of chain
|
Binding
|
