RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - Maggie's Farm lyrics

rate me

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more.

NoI ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

WellI wake up in the morning

Fold my hands and pray for rain.

I got a head full of ideas

That are drivin' me insane

It's a shame

The way she makes me

Scrub the floor

I ain't gonna work onnah

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more.

I ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more

NahI ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more

Wellhe hands you a nickel

And he hands you a dime

And he asks you with a grin

If you're havin' a good time

Then he fines you every time you slam the door

I ain't gonna work fornah

I ain't gonna work for maggie's brother no more

I ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more

NoI ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more

Wellhe puts his cigar

Out in your face just for kicks

His bedroom window

It is made out of bricks

The national guard stands around his door

I ain't gonna worknah

I ain't gonna work for maggie's pa no more

I ain't gonna work for maggie's ma no more

NoI ain't gonna work for maggie's ma no more

Wellshe talks to all the servants

About man and God and law

And everybody says

Shes the brains behind pa

Shes sixty-eightbut she says she's twenty-four

I ain't gonna work fornah

I ain't gonna work for maggie's ma no more

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

NoI ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more

Well I try my best

To be just like I am

But everybody wants you

To be just like them

They sing while they slave and just get bored

I ain't gonna work onnah

I ain't gonna work on maggie's farm no more
