Boss made a dollar
I made a dime
that was a poem
from a simpler time
Now the boss makes a thousand
and gives us a cent
while hes got employees
who cant pay rent
So when boss makes a million
nd the workers make jack
thats when we strike
and take our lives back
Reminded me of Maggie’s Farm, though originally it’s Bob Dylan, I love Rage Against the Machine’s version. I love the rage there.

I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s Farm, no more
No, I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s Farm, no more
Well, I wake up in the morning, fold my hands, and pray for rain
I got a head full of ideas, that are drivin’ me insane
It’s a shame, the way she makes me
Scrub the floor
I ain’t gonna work on, nah
I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s Farm, no more
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother, no more
Nah, I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother, no more
Well, he hands you a nickel, and he hands you a dime
And he asks you with a grin, if you’re havin’ a good time
Then he fines you every time
You slam the door
I ain’t gonna work for, nah
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s brother, no more
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s pa, no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s pa, no more
Well, he puts his cigar out in your face just for kicks
His bedroom window it is made out of bricks
The National Guard
Stands around his door
I ain’t gonna work for, nah
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s pa, no more
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s ma, no more
No, I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s ma, no more
Well, she talks to all the servants about man and God and law
And everybody says, she’s the brains behind pa
She’s 68, but she says she’s 24
I ain’t gonna work for, nah
I ain’t gonna work for Maggie’s ma, no more
I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm, no more
No, I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm, no more
Well, I try my best to be just like I am
But everybody wants you to be just like them
They sing while they slave
And they just get bored
I ain’t gonna work on, nah
I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm, no more
