Dee Murray - Slave lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 who*e house to the ground [Chorus] Slave, slave To fight the violence we must be brave Hold on strong to the love god gave Slave [Verse 2] There's a rumor 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 [Chorus][x2]
