Slave Lyrics - Honky Chateau - Elton John

There's a river running sweat right through our land 

Driven by a man with a bullwhip in his hand 

And I've taken just as much as I can stand 

Oh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we can 

Most nights I have to watch my woman cry 

Every day I watch the colonel smile 

His painted ladies riding in from town 

I swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the ground 

Slave, slave 

To fight the violence we must be brave 

Hold on strong to the love God gave 

Slave

There's a rumor of a war that's yet to come 

That may free our families and our sons 

It may lay green lands to barren wastes 

The price of release is a bitter blow to face
