Yoke

I guess it was better than the alternative

Plenty wanted more than us

Always a roof, always food to eat

Plenty of dogma-stained love

'Cause the yoke was so heavy

Yeah, the yoke was so

Three months away saving savages

A dozen white-bought memories

I gave them my youth

Made some lifelong friends

Who no longer acknowledge me

'Cause the yoke was so heavy

Yeah, the yoke was so

Out on my own, signing lease agreements

Flexing my agency

Wondering how I would fail without

The invisible man guiding me

'Cause the yoke was so heavy

Yeah, the yoke was so

Yeah, the yoke was so heavy

Yeah, the yoke was so
