Slave Songtext
von Lucky Dube

Ministers of religion
Have visited me many times
To talk about it
They say to me
I gotta leave it, I got to leave it
It′s a bad habit
For a man
But when I try to leave it
My friends keep telling me
I'm a fool amongst fools
Now I′m a slave, a slave
I'm a slave
I'm a liquor slave
I′m a slave, a slave
I′m a slave
Just a 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, a slave
I′m a slave
Just a liquor slave
I am a slave, a prisoner
I'm a slave
Just a liquor slave
Every night when I′m coming back home
My wife gets worried
Cause she knows she got double trouble coming home
Sometimes I cry
I cry, Lord I cry
But my crying never helps me
(Till fade)
