Who would like to learn some ways,
to be a Slightly-Better-Dressed Slave?
Step right up,
and discover how
to buy the clothes, the cars -
the shiny distractions,
that will shield you from real goals
and chain you to a job that you hate.
Then you can hide-away, in your mind,
the rest of your lifetime,
from how foolish and blind you were,
when you set-out to be
a Slightly-Better-Dressed Slave…
When you set-out to be
a Slightly-Better-Dressed Slave,
at best – that is what you will become.
House-Slaves,
I am talking to you,
with your light skin,
your apathy,
and your mountain of debts.
… and Field-Slaves,
I am talking to you,
with your dark skin,
and faith in the hand-picked uncle-toms
who teach you to feel proud of your misery.
as you dig, deeper-and-deeper,
your own, untimely grave…
As you dig, deeper-and-deeper,
your own, untimely grave,
you are a slightly-better-dressed slave.
