Let my people go let my people go let my people go

You have enslaved them you work from dawn to dust

And you never get ahead let my people go used to be you

Could do better than your father it just aint so it just aint so

There’s a bounty on your head called a mortgage

Now I’m telling you the river will turn red

I’ll bring famine and pestilence the locus will be feed

And if that don’t work your first born will die cause

you’re killing them too

Let my people go let my people go your killing them

You’re killing them by taxing them to death and you’ll

Bury them in bureaucracy when does the story end
