Humans Not Cargo Lyrics by Subhas, Shak

The State vs Subhas Nair

2024

[SHAK]
It's always cheaper to say sorry
Children sent back home to parents in a box as bodies
Your condolences mean nothing
Mothers. fathers bury blood while screaming that's my baby
These white collars talk for hours
Seeing people as just numbers, we are cents and dollars
Metal make no good cocoon
Another life taken too soon, their souls will live forever
This ain’t right, this ain't right - Humans Not Cargo
This ain’t right, this ain't right - Humans Not Cargo
This ain’t right, ain't right - Humans Not Cargo
This ain’t right, ain't right - Humans Not Cargo
[Subhas]
Transported like animals in a cage
Migrants workers working like slaves without minimum wage
A speedbump, pothole, turn or e-brake
Shouldn't bе enough to seal one's fatе
Lorries packed front to back still not max capacity
Cos that number just a recipe for catastrophe
Audacity of us to stop at bare minimums
Human Not Cargo, that's what we been tellin' em
[SHAK]
It's always cheaper to say sorry
Children sent back home to parents in a box as bodies
Your condolences mean nothing
Mothers. fathers bury blood while screaming that's my baby
[Subhas]
Sleep deprived workers without time to react
Migrant life neglect in the Road Traffic Act
What's the true cost of our building projects?
Our BTOs are drenched in blood that's a fact
Petitions, politicians, saying ban the lorry
But what we can see just one side of the story
Agent fees, food, healthcare and housing
"Unskilled labour" keeps wages under a thousand
Trash bags shield thunderstorms, workers hide
I invite Lee Hsien Loong on a lorry ride
No cameras boy, from Ubi to Tuas South
Exchanging sweat with people living hand to mouth
And every time migrant skin touch tar and asphalt
Ministers deflect when it's their fucking ass fault
Every time parliament says cost too heavy
Ask what the fuck they doing with the foreign worker levy?
What the fuck they doing with the foreign worker levy?
What the fuck they doing with the foreign worker levy?
[SHAK]
This ain’t right, this ain't right - Humans Not Cargo
This ain’t right, this ain't right - Humans Not Cargo
This ain’t right, this ain't right
