Lyrics

Slave driver, the table is turned (Catch a fire)
Catch a fire
You're gonna get burned (Catch a fire)
Every time I hear the crack of a whip
My blood 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 makes money
Slave driver, the table is turned (Catch a fire)
Catch a fire
You're gonna get burned (Catch a fire)
Every time I hear the crack of a whip
My blood 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 makes money
Slave driver
The table is turned (Catch a fire)
Catch a fire
You're gonna get burned (Catch a fire)
Slave driver
The table is turned (Catch a fire)
Catch a fire
You're gonna get burned (Catch a fire)
