Sage's Path - Republic of the Exploited
Here on the high seas, you will put inA whole years' work, lest the whip
Your mark's on the parchment, you'll do as I say
And make in a year what I make in a day
It's my right to exploit the jobs I create
You would be naught if it wasn't for me
Never again, no, never again
One mind, one vote for what, where, & when
Just twice the pay for the captain
Maroon those swayed in corruption
With deckhands' value now recognized,
We work for more than a wage enterprise
We have the say now, the profit is shared
Incentive is mutual
All loss, we bear
The profit is now shared
All loss we together bare
Your belittlement has cost you dearly now
We are the force you failed to reckon with
We work as one under same sun
No trepidation of temper undone
Just twice the pay for the captain
Maroon those swayed in corruption
Never again, no, never again
One mind, one vote, for where & when
Just twice the pay for or he'll swim to the shore
