Black Wood - Capitalism

So long ago a brown-man took me away
And then he sold me out to a paler face.
But they don't know, girl, that I´m priceless all the way.

I have been his wood, his fool, a living tool.
I had to abide by his stupid rules.
I have been abused, accused and misused
Justice will always be under his boots.
But the chronicle that they do not tell,
will vindicate me.

You know, my Darling, I know what you went through
Because you know, baby, I have been there too.
With all my charm and grace and funk,
I was trampled on too.

So listen papa… do you wanna come with me?
We will reverse the story; will be all we wanted to be.
Just have to sing, and play, and dance,
and we will be free… free my love.
--

Although the power changed its face
and the chains have changed their names,
we know that we all are slaves of the miserly race
That is why… for the rhythm we stand.
If the tale is refused to change,
we will turn over the page.

With all my potentiality and my talent I will show
All my wounds will soon heal, I gonna make it on my own
Like they do… our brothers of black wood…
They resisted and in the end,
were better off than them.
