Underpaid Scars - Rude Pride

Sounds the alarm on the clock

It’s still dark night outside

Begins a new day of work

The streets are flooded

With sadness when the workers

Walk with their heads down

The factory opens it’s doors

And encloses our freedom

But we haven’t lost hope

The bus stops are filled

With rows of angry slaves

Going to their temporary jail

We’re not to blame — For being lower class

We’re not to blame — For having broken hands

Underpaid scars!

Today I heard another

Worker lost his life

At the factory next door

I could not help thinking

As I clenched my fists in anger

Of the family he left behind

He died to feed his kids

He died to feed his dreams

He died for a place to live

He died murdered

Murdered in front of you

Murdered in front of me
