Slave — текст песни (Lucky Dube)

Ministers of religion
have visited me many times
to talk about it
They say to me
I gotta leave it I gotta 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

Chorus:
Now I`m a slave, a slave
I`m a slave
I`m a liquor slave
I`m a slave, a slave, 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


Chorus:
`Cos now I am a slave, a slave
I`m a slave
I`m 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
`cos she knows
Shes got double trouble
coming home
Sometimes I cry
I cry lord I cry
But my crying
never helps me


Chorus: (till fade)
