Slave

G
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
         C                       
Oh we've got to free our brothers 
            D              C     G
from their shackles if we can

Most nights I have to watch my woman
 cry
Every day I watch the colonel smile
Continues after the ad
His painted ladies riding in from 
town
I swear one day I'm gonna burn that 
whore house to the ground

Em     C
Slave, slave
   G                     D
To fight the violence we must be 
brave
Em                     C
Hold on strong to the love God gave
Em
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
