This is a song about modern slavery which is very widespread. We're not preaching or anything, it's just our feelings on it. Hope you enjoy the song!

Lyrics:
Verses: 
So you wanna end slavery 
You can't do it with your music, baby 
So get down on your knees and pray 
You know that it won't do anything 

Choruses: 
I feel it coming 
I feel it sinking in 
I feel it coming and I can't do anything about it 
Like a loaded gun

21st Century Slaves

This song serves as a reminder that the clock keeps on ticking.  Don't let it bring you down.  Don't let it slow you down.

Lyrics:
you're living in hell
and you can't even tell
the nurse is at the door
say goodnight
tell me where we parked the car
you want to make sure its alright
the stairs are locked tight
set me free

it seems like you've been in here way too long
and you wanna set yourself free
they locked you away without any second thought
and now you lay here and rot

smoke rings from an empty pipe
clouding your sense of time
the hands of the grandfather clock
won't unwind
who's that person at the door
I've never seen their face before
they smile like they've known me awhile
but it's not true

it seems like you've been in here way too long
and you want to set yourself free
taken hostage by an unknown parasite
you're losing the will to fight

Grandfather Clock

Lyrics:
When the water burns the leaves
It's hard to carry, the weight on your back
especially when your bones are being cracked
right in front of me, trying to piece the face
in the mirror together.

The hands come down from the sky.

Why don't we go?
To a place that will treat you better
Why don't we go?
Where they won't burn you like that letter
Why don't we go?

Their words are raining down a lot
as you turn to no one, your freedom has been bought
the darkness in your eyes should say a lot about those haunted thoughts
and the tears that stay afloat on the surface

the voice in your head comes and says

Why don't we go?
To a place that will treat you better
Why don't we go?
Where they won't burn you like that letter
Why don't we go?
.
.
.
(attempted whistling)

when the water burns the leaves
it's hard to carry the weight on your back
especially when my bones are being cracked
right in front of you, trying to piece my face 
in the mirror together

Their hands come down from the sky

Why don't we go?
To a place where they'll treat you better
Why don't we go?
Where they won't burn you like that letter
Why don't we go?

(ooohh)

Slave Folk Song (Live)

Lyrics:

Set the world on fire
Risk it all to feel alive 
Travelling between her eyes and lines
It's better not to try
If loving it is suicide 
I've already died

Now my baby is gone
She's lost her head
Now my baby is dead
My money's all gone

Pinching pennies to get by
Now I'm living off my last dime
and it's not even mine

She's got the prettiest eyes
Intoxicated, how time flies
But I'll take my time

La la la

Bye bye.

Enjoy our summer song!

Lyrics:
This is the game we play
So many rules to break yeah
in the market place
fighting for just a bit of

Cover, it's all gone now
Depression's hit me harder
Twisted Patterns

When I was shot out of a cannon
Can't remember a thing
No I can't remember a thing

Stuck in this little box
Stay here 'cause I want to
separate from my thoughts
sleeping in bags under my eyes

Now it's getting brighter
Sun's come out
Lifted us up
Why does it feel wrong?

When I was shot out of a cannon
Can't remember a thing
No I can't remember a thing (!!)

Music, life and tasty jams from outer space. We are Okra. 

We are human and we make life music. All of our songs are musical discussions, confessions and agressions sometimes moving in many directions. We are not into lateral movement. Move forward or don't move at all. We hope you enjoy our music and get something out of it. Hate it or love it, at least you feel something and aren't in the middle of the road about it.
