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]
