I guess it was better than the alternative
Plenty wanted more than us
Always a roof, always food to eat
Plenty of dogma-stained love
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Three months away, saving savages
A dozen white bought memories
I gave them my youth, made some lifelong friends
Who no longer acknowledge me
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Out on my own, signing lease agreements
Wondering how I would fail without
The invisible man guiding me
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so heavy
