Slave

Slave - Lucky Dube

Ministers of religion

Have visited me many times

To talk about it

They say to me ohho

I gotta leave it I gotta leave it

It's a bad habit

For a man

But when I try ohh to leave it ohh

My friends keep telling me

I'm a fool amongst fools

Now I'm a slave slave a slave slave

I'm a slave

I'm a liquor slave liquor slave

I'm a slave slave a slave slave

I'm a slave

Just a liquor slave liquor slave

I have lost my dignity

I had before trying

To please everybody

Some say to me

Yo yo

I look better when I'm drunk

Some say no no no

I look bad you know

Sometimes I cry

I cry but my crying

Never helps me none

'Cause now I am a slave slave a slave slave

I'm a slave

I'm just a liquor slave liquor slave

I am a slave slave a prisoner slave

I'm a slave

Just a liquor slave liquor slave

Every night when I'm

Coming back home

My wife gets worried

'Cause she knows

She's got double trouble

Coming home

Sometimes I cry

I cry Lord I cry

But my crying

Never helps me

Now I'm a slave slave a slave slave

I'm a slave

I'm a liquor slave liquor slave

I'm a slave slave a slave slave

I'm a slave

Just a liquor slave liquor slave

Now I'm a slave slave a slave slave

I am a prisoner

Just a liquor slave liquor slave

I'm a slave slave a slave slave

I'm a prisoner

Just a liquor slave liquor slave
