Ministers of religion |
|
have visited me many times |
|
to talk about it |
|
They say to me |
|
I gotta leave it I gotta leave it |
|
It's a bad habit |
|
for a man |
|
But when I try to leave it |
|
my friends keep telling me |
|
I'm a fool amongst fools |
|
Chorus: |
|
Now I'm a slave, a slave |
|
I'm a slave |
|
I'm a liquor slave |
|
I'm a slave, a slave, slave |
|
I'm a slave |
|
Just a liquor slave |
|
I have lost my dignity |
|
I had before trying |
|
to please everybody |
|
Some say to me |
|
yo yo |
|
I look better when I'm drunk |
|
Some say no no no |
|
I look bad you know |
|
Sometimes I cry |
|
I cry but my crying |
|
never helps me none |
|
Chorus: |
|
'Cos now I am a slave, a slave |
|
I'm a slave |
|
I'm just a liquor slave |
|
I am a slave, a prisoner |
|
I'm a slave |
|
Just a liquor slave |
|
Every night when I'm |
|
coming back home |
|
My wife gets worried |
|
'cos she knows |
|
Shes got double trouble |
|
coming home |
|
Sometimes I cry |
|
I cry lord I cry |
|
But my crying |
|
never helps me |
|
Chorus: (till fade) |
