Lyrics:
From the Plantation To the Penitentiary From the yassuh boss To the ghetto minstrelsy In the heart of freedom In chains In the heart of freedom Insane In the heart of freedom Insane In the heart of freedom In chains From the field hand cry To the ten to twenty-five From the 'sold-off' men To the raised by next-of-kin In the cause of freedom and shame In the cause of freedom and game From the 'no book' rules To the raggly public schools From the coon and shine To the unemployment line In the land of freedom In chains In the land of freedom Insane From the work long days To the dope And drinking craze From the stock in slaves To the booming prison trade In the name of freedom Insane In the name of freedom And shame In the heart of freedom In chains In the heart of freedom Insane
