Lyrics

[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
'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
'Cause the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so
[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
Yeah, the yoke was so heavy
Yeah, the yoke was so
