Old Slave Maentality
F C
When the master cracked his whip
F C
And beat us with his stick
A‹# C
When we dreamt of our freedom
F C
Could we believe what we’d become
A# F
It’s that old slave mentality
A# F
Deep within our psyche
A# F
When will we be ever free
C
From that old slave mentality
And when paddy doffed his cap
Swore then he’d get his own back
& when he got partial freedom
went to his head it seems now
now our masters crack their whips
& beat us with their sticks
& that freedom, that freedom
so many gave their lives for
was wasted, was pissed up against the wall
It’s that old slave mentality
Deep within our memories
When will we be ever free
From that old salve mentality
