Slave Driver

Bob Marley

 

Slave driver the table is turned

Catch a fire so you can get burned

Slave driver the table is turned

Catch a fire you're gonna get burned

Ev'ry time I hear the crack of the whip

My blood runs cold I remember on the slave ship

How they brutalised our very souls

Today they say that we are free

Only to be chained in poverty

Good god, I think it's all illiteracy

It's only a machine that make money

Slave driver the table is turned Slave driver the table is turned baby now

Catch a fire so you can get burned baby now

Slave driver the table is turned

Catch a fire so you can get burned

Ev'ry time I hear the crack of the whip

My blood runs cold I remember on the slave ship

How they brutalised our very souls

Oh god have mercy on our souls
