Текст песни No Slaves (Knox Brown) с переводом

Calling, calling, they sit you down

Meeting after meeting they churn 'em out

All in my head, all in my city

Numerous ways to let you down

I know, I know, I know, I know

You can’t touch a kettle, it’s burning hot

Always left alone and no one’s ever home

But only open up the door when opportunity knocks like…

(Oh hey yeah)

Oh we don’t wanna be slaves, we don’t wanna be slaves

(Oh hey yeah)

No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it

(Oh hey yeah)

Oh we don’t wanna be slaves, we don’t wanna be slaves

(Oh hey yeah)

No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it

Oh I keep falling, falling, and falling down

The meek shall rise above the ground

All in my mind, all in my city

Will find a million ways to drag you down

I know, I know, I said I know

Cause I’ve been told many times before

Always left alone and no one’s ever home

But only open up the door when opportunity knocks like…

(Oh hey yeah)

Oh we don’t wanna be slaves, we don’t wanna be slaves

(Oh hey yeah)

No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it

(Oh hey yeah)

Oh we don’t wanna be slaves, we don’t wanna be slaves

(Oh hey yeah)

No, not gonna stand it, not gonna stand it

You spent your whole life working a nine to five

You put your dreams on hold for nickles and dimes

Don’t you remember what it was you wanted in life?

Did you forget about the pennies you threw in the well wishing?

Your grave shift would be over, you dying inside

Oh you a slave to the rhythm, your body and mind prison

Now how do you find freedom?

You stuck in a bind needing

A break from the mundane is something divine

And we just wanna hear the misery

Ain’t it a shame what we do just to do to the assembly

It can be so much better than what was given to me

Don’t know how much more I can give 'em me

Something gotta give for me to be

I’m jumping off right into the sea

We don’t wanna be, we don’t wanna be

Look we don’t wanna be no slaves, no, no

We don’t wanna be, we don’t wanna be

Look we don’t wanna be no slaves, no, no

We don’t wanna be, we don’t wanna be

Look we don’t wanna be no slaves, no
