Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Honky Ch鈚eauThere's a river running sweat right through our landDriven by a man with a bullwhip in his handAnd I've taken just as much as I can standOh we've got to free our brothers from their shackles if we canMost nights I have to watch my woman cryEvery day I watch the colonel smileHis painted ladies riding in from townI swear one day I'm gonna burn that whore house to the groundSlave, slaveTo fight the violence we must be braveHold on strong to the love God gaveSlaveThere's a rumour of a war that's yet to comeThat may free our families and our sonsIt may lay green lands to barren wastesThe price of release is a bitter blow to face
