Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh. Oo-oo-ooh! Oo-oo-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: gonna get burned. (catch a fire) Wo,
now!

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the 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 has turned, y'all.
Ooh-ooh-oo-ooh.

Slave driver, uh! 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 has turned, y'all; (catch a
fire)
Catch a fire: so you can get burned, now. (catch a
fire)

Ev'rytime I hear the crack of a whip,
My blood runs cold.
I remember on the slave ship,
How they brutalize the very souls.

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, the table has turned, y'all; (catch a
fire)
Catch a fire ...
