Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-ooh.
|
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
|
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
|
Slave driver, the table is turn; (catch a fire)
|
Catch a fire: gonna get burn. (catch a fire) Wo, now!
|
|
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
|
My blood runs cold.
|
I remember on the slave ship,
|
How they brutalize the very souls.
|
Today they say that we are free,
|
Only to be chained in poverty.
|
Good God, I think it's illiteracy;
|
It's only a machine that makes money.
|
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all. Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.
|
|
Slave driver, uh! The table is turn, baby, now; (catch a fire)
|
Catch a fire, so you can get burn, baby, now. (catch a fire)
|
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
|
Catch a fire: so you can get burn, now. (catch a fire)
|
|
Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
|
My blood runs cold.
|
I remember on the slave ship,
|
How they brutalize the very soul.
|
|
O God, have mercy on our souls!
|
Oh, slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
|
Catch a fire, so you can get burn. (catch a fire)
|
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all; (catch a fire)
|
Catch a fire... [fadeout]
