Slave |
| There’s a river running sweat right through our land |
| Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand |
| And I’ve taken just as much as I can stand |
| Oh we’ve got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can |
| Most nights I have to watch my woman cry |
| Every day I watch the colonel smile |
| His painted ladies riding in from town |
| I swear one day I’m gonna burn that whore house to the ground |
| Slave, slave |
| To fight the violence we must be brave |
| Hold on strong to the love God gave |
| Slave |
| There’s a rumour of a war that’s yet to come |
| That may free our families and our sons |
| It may lay green lands to barren wastes |
| The price of release is a bitter blow to face |
