j lind - hey rube! lyrics
you used to walk a path of dirt
your footprints in the clay
now you pack conveyor belts
where no one knows your name
the work is fine most of the time
it’s simple and it’s cheap
i lay the trap, i swing the ax
i wash, rinse, repeat
but it’s not the work that keeps me down
so much as what it’s not
the memories of being free
the dreams that never stop
you joined the workers union
they were helpful for a time
‘til the union head was promoted
to run the factory line
the alarm was raised, you went your way
most excellent of sheep
tumbling through the co2
a tender piece of meat
no, it’s not the fight that keeps you down
so much as what it’s not
the memories of being free
the dreams that never stop
hey rube! hey rube!
your food comes from my factory
your clothes made by the slaves
your taxes go to fund the wars
that you cannot explain
but it’s not the guilt that keeps you down
so much as what it’s not
the memories of being asleep
the dreams that you forgot
hey rube! hey rube!
