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)
