Master's House

Lyrics

You won't need a dime to board in the master's house.
 You won't need a dime to board in the master's house,
 'Cause he'll sell you a thousand for a hundred and tell you the rest is on loan,
 'Til you try to build a house of? your own;
 You owe every crossbeam and stone.
 You won't need a dime.
 You won't need a tool to work in the master's field
 You won't need a tool to work in the master's field
 'Cause he'll tell you that works beneath you 'til your shirt's hanging off like a sheet.
 Then suddenly the work of your hands
 Is just keeping out of well-laid plans.
 You won't need a tool.
 You won't need a sin to pray in the master's church.
 You won't need a sin to pray in the master's church.
 Every reason they give you to fall at their feet and be saved
 For wars that their grandfathers waged.
 How easily the heart of man is tamed.?
 You won't need a sin.
 You won't need a guide to find the master's door
 You won't need a guide to find the master's door
 Cause everyone who's gone before you been pounding you down to the floor
 While we? were plotting his end
 He bought all our land and moved in
 You won't need a guide
 'Cause the master rules where the master divides
