21 Years

21 years of living under the hammer

But there's still a chance for me

Take my pride and traditions and country

But i won't let them choose for me

No i won't stay in this ditch they've dug for me

There is another road I can take

After 21 years of living under the hammer

This man will never break

21 years of an iron hand

Oppression of the working class is their plan

You might never understand

But after 21 years you'll never break this man

I have done my time in the factories and the sweat shops

I know that there is something more

But every time that i come up for air

Another situation slams the door

Like my father before me I have owned what I got

Never taken anything on the dole

When you lose your pride and give into the system

The system steals your soul
