《New Generation Slave》歌词

[00:00:00] New Generation Slave - Riverside

[00:00:06] Into this world

[00:00:07] I came

[00:00:09] Filled with fear

[00:00:10] Crying all the time

[00:00:20] I guess my birth

[00:00:22] Left a great scar

[00:00:24] On my heart and mind

[00:00:33] Now I hand-pick cotton

[00:00:35] And struggle to sing

[00:00:37] "I am happy and I do what I like"

[00:00:48] But my voice breaks

[00:00:50] And I start to hate

[00:00:52] My singing

[00:00:54] And simply everyone

[00:01:05] Mama told me

[00:01:07] Be good

[00:01:08] Work hard

[00:01:09] And love Mr God

[00:01:19] Every Sunday

[00:01:20] I lie

[00:01:21] Trying to realize why

[00:01:32] Ain't nothing more to say

[00:01:34] Your Honor

[00:01:36] Don't look at me like that

[00:01:46] The truth is

[00:01:47] I am a free man

[00:01:51] But I can't enjoy my life

[00:02:18] I came to a standstill

[00:02:21] With lies and hopes inside my head

[00:02:25] Always seemed too late to turn

[00:02:29] And too soon to understand

[00:02:33] No I dont have a stomach ache

[00:02:36] It's just my face

[00:03:01] I got stuck

[00:03:02] I ran aground

[00:03:04] I got used to spewing bile

[00:03:08] I wonder whether all those years

[00:03:11] Hadn't been a waste of time

[00:03:16] So how am I doing

[00:03:18] Oh I can complain

[00:03:25] Smoke too many cigarettes

[00:03:27] But I don't care
