Old Slave Mentality

Old Slave Mentality

F C When the master cracked his whip F C And beat us with his stick A‹# C When we dreamed 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
