How many chains?

How many chains must I wear to become a slave? Car, mortgage, rent, taxes - call me Tobie. How many times must I kneel at the altar of Capitalism? Free markets are churches, profit is a religion. Our obsession with wealth, keeps us praying to Gods we don't even believe in. How much money is enough? Will you take bread out of the mouth of your fellow man? The rich get richer, the poor? Well, pawns are always sacrificed first - the wheel must break. Give us this day our daily bread, the fish rots from the head.  We entrusted our oceans to crooks who stole the dreams of 700 men, They broke the hearts of their wives and scared their children for life, Yet we thanked them for their patriotism. How many times must I vote before I taste the fruits of freedom? We traded colonialists for landlords, what are actually free from? What worth is a life of perennial pain? How many chains?
