Sundays Slave Lyrics

    Sunday's got a slave
    Monday's got one too
    Sunday's got a slave
    Monday's got one too
    Our sufferings are countless
    Our pleasures are motley few
    Spend all day digging my grave
    Now go get sunday's slave

    Tuesday sleeps in a stable
    Wednesday's in a chains
    Tuesday gathers up the crumbs under the table
    Wednesday dare not complain
    My heart has collapsed on the tracks of a run-a-way train
    Just whisper his name
    And here comes sunday's slave

    The hands in the stable are willing and able to pay
    If you feel at a loss, man, just who is the boss-man
    Ask the blood of one of its bad days
    For his nerve is to serve but the sevice is a mockery
    He insists that he piss in your fist
    But he still takes the money anyway
    The master's a bastard
    But don't tell sunday's slave

    Thursday's angered the master
    O.k. so friday's gonna pay
    Thursday's angered the master
    Yeah, so friday's gonna pay
    One night on the rack and he's back saddling up saturday
    You can only whisper his name
    But not on sundays
    Never on sundays
    O not on sunday's slave
