    Listening to Maggie's farm by RATM, made me think of the similarites to the Watchtower. I changed up the lyrics. Listen to the song and substitute the words.

    "Watchtower Farm"

    By: Rage against the Watchtower machine

    I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more.
    No, I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more
    Well, I wake up in the morning
    Fold my hands and pray for Splain.
    I got a head full of ideas
    That are drivin' me insane
    It's a shame
    the way they make me
    scrub Bethel floor
    I ain't gonna work on, nah
    I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more.
    I ain't gonna work for brother Losch no more
    nah, I ain't gonna work for brother Losch no more
    Well, he hands you a privilege
    And he gives you a line
    And he asks you with a grin
    If you're havin' a good time
    Then fines you every time your late through the door
    I ain't gonna work for, nah
    I ain't gonna work for brother Losch no more

    I ain't gonna work for Brother Lett no more
    No, I ain't gonna work for Brother Lett no more
    Well, he puts his visions
    In your face just for kicks
    His “new understanding”
    Is making us so sick
    The Faithful Slave, is always keeping score
    I ain't gonna work for, nah
    I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more
    I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more
    No, I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more
    Well, she talks to all the “friends”
    About the slave and God and law
    And everybody says
    Shes the brains behind God
    Bible says all, but she says hundred fourty-four
    I ain't gonna work for, nah
    I ain't gonna work for our “Mother” no more

    I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more
    No, I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more
    My Savior Jesus Christ said
    To be just like I am
    But the Faithful Slave commands me
    To be just like them
    Keeping up to date, makes my head sore
    I ain't gonna work on, nah
    I ain't gonna work on watchtower farm no more

    Nice.

    I believe the song was originally Bob Dylans. That self titled RATM album was all covers.

    I freakin love that album and that band.
