Slave Songtext
von Prince

Everybody keeps tryin′ to break my heart
Everybody except for me
I just want a chance to play the part
The part of someone truly free
Like candle slowly burning, I can feel my world unravel
Hemisphere upon hemisphere lie beneath my soul, soul
My enemies kept it turning, but now they pound the gavel
And judging me accordingly, I know, I know

Hey, hey, hey
Oh

Burning slowly candle, handle careless they did
Merrily down 3 heartbreak boulevards
Like fashion statements, they lie "You be lookin' so good tonight, kid"
I do my best to party, it′s just that everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart


Except for me (except for me)
I just want a chance to play

(Just wanna be free)

Slowly candle burns, where'd they learn hypnosis?
How′d they keep me under for so long?
Break the bread I earn, just keep me far from closest
I need their kind to illustrate what′s wrong - what's wrong?

Well, I′ll tell you they just keep tryin' to break my heart
They just keep tryin′ to break my heart, ow!

(Everybody, everybody)

But I can't let you break my heart

(Everybody keeps tryin′ to break my heart)
Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart)
Slave! Slave! (Everybody keeps tryin' to break my heart)
Slave!
