[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so

[Verse 2]
Three months away, saving savages
A dozen white bought memories
I gave them my youth, made some lifelong friends
Who no longer acknowledge me

[Chorus]
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so

[Verse 3]
Out on my own, signing lеase agreements
Flexing my agеncy
Wondering how I would fail without
The invisible man guiding me
[Chorus]
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so
Yeah, the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so
