lyrics

I threw a dollar in the well

It through back a dime
I gambled all of it away
Now I’m working 9 to 5

Oh, am I foolish?
Can I call it justified?
Nothing to prove just
To myself that I am right


Chorus
I’m a slave slave slave slave
I’m a slave slave slave slave
I’m a slave slave slave slave
To how it makes me feel

I aint gonna sweep the floors
Ain’t gonna make the time
Ain’t working for the man no more
Cause I can’t be satisfied

What do I do, lord
When I’m wrapped around his thumb?
It’s like a shootout
Standoff without a gun

Chorus
I’m a slave slave slave slave
I’m a slave slave slave slave
I’m a slave slave slave slave
To how it makes me feel

[Instrumental break]

Chorus
I’m a slave slave slave slave
I’m a slave slave slave slave
I’m a slave slave slave slave
To how it makes me feel

[Tag]
To how it makes me feel

old-time feel, while her lyrics are both charismatic and endearing.
