Dennis Brown - Slave Driver

Slave driver, your table is turning
Catch your fire, so you can get burn, woo now.
Slave driver, your table is turning
Catch your fire, so you can get burn, woo!

Every time I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very souls.
And today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty, now.
Good Lord, I think it's illiteracy;
Only a machine that makes money.
Slave driver, the table is turn, y'all.

Slave driver, your table is turning
Catch your fire, so you can get burn,
Slave driver, your table is turning
Catch your fire, so you can get burn, woo yeah!

Every time I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very soul.
And today they say that we are free,
Only to be chained in poverty, now.
Good Lord, I think it's illiteracy;
Only a machine that makes money.

Slave driver, your table is turning
Catch your fire, so you can get burn,
Slave driver, your table is turning
Catch your fire, so you can get burn, woo

Fire burn! Fire burn!
Fire burn you!
Through and through
Fire burn you!
And your family, slave driver
Woo now, now, slave driver..
