Lyrics

Yeah, slave driver, the table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned Slave driver, the table has turned Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned, yeah (catch a fire) Every time I hear the crack of a whip My blood runs cold, oh 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 a man Slave driver, the table has- catch a fire, yeah Catch a fire, you're gonna get- catch a fire, ah Slave driver, the table has- catch a fire, oh Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned, oh (catch a fire) 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 makes- Slave driver, the table has- catch a fire Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned (catch a fire) Slave driver, the table has catch a fire Catch a fire, you're gonna get burned, yeah yeah (catch a fire)
