Slave Driver Songtext
von Bob Marley & The Wailers

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Slave driver, the table has turned (catch a fire)
Catch a fire so you can get burned now (catch a fire)
Slave driver, the table has turned (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, you′re gonna get burned (catch a fire)
Woah now

Every time I hear the crack of a whip, my blood a-runs cold
I remember on the slave ship
How they brutalized our very souls
Today they say that we are free
Only to be chained in poverty
Good God, I think it's illiteracy
It′s only a machine that make money


(Slave driver) the table has turned, y'all
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
(Slave driver, ugh) the table has turned, baby now (catch a fire)
(Catch a fire) so you can get burned, baby now (catch a fire)
(Slave Driver) the table is turned y'all (catch a fire)
(Catch a fire) so you can get burned now (catch a fire)

Every time I hear the crack of a whip, my blood a-runs cold
I remember on the slave ship
How they brutalize our very souls
(Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh ooh-ooh)
Oh, God, have mercy on our souls!
Oh!

Slave driver, the table has turned, y′all (catch a fire)
Catch a fire, so you can get burned (catch a fire)
Slave driver (slave driver) the table has turned, y′all (catch a fire)
Catch a fire so you can get burned (catch a fire)
