Dying Fetus - Reduced to Slavery

Album: Destroy the Opposition (Japan bonus track 2001)
Lyrics:
Below the southern flank there lies a hell that's left alone
And it's not a place where tourists like to go
Paradise is relative across the open sea
Where a billion people live and die in poverty
They try to make a living on the corporate bottom line
But the sum of their existence doesn't add up to a dime
And the overwhelming excess that their daily labor feeds
Fills the pockets of the rich who seek to maximize their greed
In a world commodified
The masses rise again
To keep the profits high
And keep themselves shut in
What does it mean when the value of life
Is worth less than a dollar a day?
There are no excuses, just people to feed
And when you're starving words just don't fucking matter
Sleeping on the ground with shit and rats
They're gonna go another day if it breaks their backs
No-one cares if they make it or not
If one man dies there's ten to take his spot
Their dreams will rot with time
As the soil turns to sand
And the high-rises climb
And the rich rape their land
Bled for a profit as their bodies grow weak
They are a class in themselves fighting just to breathe
Corporation slaves work the engines of greed
They can buy a life but they can't buy freedom
Seven days a week on the factory floor
God-forsaken work-whores
Go buy your shit, keep the system alive
And two cents for the kid who did the job
God can't hear them crying
Work to live, live to die
Trapped within a cruel existence
Misery multiplies
Welcome to the New World Order
Buried dreams, worthless lives
Empathy is out of fashion

I cannot understand how Reduced to Slavery was left out of this album. This song kills!

[@demonhalo67]

Madness. The album is 40 minutes in length with 9 tracks on standard. Ridiculous decision to leave this as a japanese bonus, the jap version is rare as fk anyway. Leaving this a rare nugget. Requires a reissue from a big metal label like NB with promotion.

[@GHP15300]

This is about the people in the working class who does not received the right amount of wage around the industrial revolution it is still relatable in Philippines

[@natadecoco5938]

I just watch a documentary about hustle culture of industrial world in asia..this song is on point.

1:02 Definitely one of the best headbanger riff ever for me !!

[@oxelasun]

Probably the best df track imo. The bass at the beginning and the breakdowns and everything else about the track really just rustles my jimmies in the best way.

[@demonhalo67]

I think that also. The dynamics and musicianship is so sharp, this should have been a mandatory inclusion on DTO.

[@Necr0Cys2topsY]

It's a bonus track on the Japan version of the album

[@devouredbyzombies]

Their best song imo.
