Asian Dub Foundation - Modern Apprentice lyrics

Written by: lisa das I am a modern apprentice I believe in the life-long learning 'ain't gonna take away this natural yearning To know the truth The truth about the lies you've been giving It's not a state of affairs that that i'm prepared to live in I will find out for myself No i ain't gonna be your clone Ain't gonna be working my fingers to the bone To feed your mouths When the poor around me are starving And you the fat cats are sitting pretty and laughing I will do it in spite of you I'll educate myself Then i'll empower others So that we can make our own wealth Yes i'll empower others So that we can make our own wealth
