Slave (Alternate Version) (from Honky Chateau)

There's a river running sweat right through our land, through our land,

Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand, in his hand

And I've taken just as much as I can stand, I can stand

Oh, we've got to free our brothers from their shackles yeah if we can, if canMost nights I have to watch my woman cry, oh she cries

Every day I watch the colonel smile, oh he smiles

His painted ladies riding in from town, in from town

Oh I swear one day I'm gonna burn the whore house to the ground, to the groundSlave! Slave.

To fight the violence we must be brave,

Hold on strong

To the love God gave, slaveThere's a rumor of a war that's yet to come, yet to come

That may free our families, free our families and our sons, and our sons

It may lay green lands to barren wastes, all the waste, all the waste

Oh the price of release is a bitter blow to face, ah to faceSlave! Slave.

To fight the violence we must be brave,

Hold on strong

To the love God gave, slaveSlave! Oh slave.

To fight the violence we must be brave,

Hold on strong

To the love God gave,Slave! Slave.

To fight the violence we must be brave,

Hold on strong

To the love God gave, slave
