            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 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
