Land of the fee, home of the saved
White folks own all robots, so they all were saved
But that same technology forced people of color to all become enslaved!
Our oppressors are comfortable, huddled in their bunkers in stasis
While 3/4ths of the world serves as generators just to ‘charge up the racists!’
Transportation was outlawed, so all our movements and steps earn us credits
In exchange for our electricity, they extract various fees, taxes, and debits
100 push-ups for a liter of water, or walk two miles for a loaf of bread
But if you become inactive, you might end up dead!
The robot patrols ride on horseback with shotguns and whips
So white folks can bet on fights, marathons and galleys racing ships!
Too tired to assemble and too hopeless to revolt
The disenfranchised became apathetic and soon lost all hope
Entertaining and serving our new masters who were just as cruel as the old
The 'global majority' never resisted or protested, because they just did exactly what they were told.
