Lyrics Lucky Dube – Well Fed Slave / Hungry Free Man
Text:
Look in the eyes of the
Homeless man
Tell me what you see
In the eyes of a jobless man
Tell me what you see
What about the eyes
Of a prisoner
What do you see
Now you’ve seen it all
It is time to make up your mind
Don’t try to hide it
‘Cause I can see it all
In your face yeah
It the same questions
That I ask myself every time
To be or not to be
What about the eyes
Of a prisoner
What do you see
Now you’ve seen it all
It is time to make up your mind
Don’t try to hide it
‘Cause I can see it all
In your face yeah
It the same questions
That I ask myself every time
To be or not to be
Chorus: x3
Do you wanna be
A well fed slave or a hungry free man
What is the point in being free
When you can’t get no job
What is the point in being free
When you can’t get food
What is the point in going out to work
When others can get for free
What is the point in being free
When you don’t have no home
Now you’ve heard it all
It is time to make up
Your own mind
To be or not to be
Oh ho ho ho
Oh ho ho ho
Chorus:
Do you wanna be
A well fed slave or a hungry free man
Till fade
