Slave Trade Of Marriage
Every day gives me a new reason for why I shouldn't believe in love
They say that God ordained marriage and I wonder why
He would ordain such an evil, evil thing
Marriage is like slavery and husbands are
Evil plantation owners who break whips over women's backs and watch them bleed
They watch them bear children for them
And in turn, enslave those children
Saying "I do" allows chains to lock
Around your hands and feet, so "I do not"
I will not, I will never
Subject myself to be a slave because I am
An American and I believe in freedom
Isn't it funny that many men paid the price for our freedom?
Well, I aim to keep that freedom
My mother may have been sold to that slave trade
And I to the chains of a father
But one day, I will be emancipated
One day, by the grace of God Almighty, I will be free at last!
