Modern Servitude - Bradders

Spent my time in a classroom.
Years behind a desk.
Reading books and writing papers.
Just to pass the test.
Preparing for the future in a world I had to impress.
Sending applications but they don’t get no interest.
I could join the army,
Go to war.
But turpitude is something I abhor.
OhoOh, stay at home without a job to do.
But school never taught me how to beg for food.
It’s modern servitude.
Modern servitude.
How many years will I be used?
It’s modern servitude.
Modern servitude.
And my degree won’t buy me food.
I’m scared of the impact that money can wield over me.
Because I’m pinned down by the gig economy.
They say I need experience and internship is the way.
But there ain’t much out there and you know you ain’t no slave.
Corporation’s policy is you work for minimum wage.
So, I live in poverty even in this day and age.
So, what am I supposed to do?
Does anybody have a clue?
Student loans are a ball and chain.
Will I ever see the light of day again?
It’s modern servitude.
Modern servitude.
How many years will I be used?
It’s modern servitude.
Modern servitude.
And my degree won’t buy me food.
No, no, no,
My degree won’t buy me food.
No, no, no
My degree won’t buy me food.
