Child Of A Slave

They celebrate now, yeah
They celebrate now
Winning without fight is best
Lovers of war will perish, I know
Leadership don’t mean damnation
Love don’t mean retaliation
If we don’t stop the wars
Who’s gonna be at fault?
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
Eat caviar, drink champagne
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
At the death of the child of a slave
Child of a slave
Ooooh oho oho
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Remember our forefather’s tears?
The lives which were lost
For us to see peaceful years?
When shot stop
Who remains flat?
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
Eat caviar, drink champagne
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
At the death of the child of a slave
Child of a slave
Ooooh oho oho
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Unity, only accepted goals
Conscience must decide the destiny of souls
Wheels rolling down a hill needs no push
Works of the KKK shouldn’t be done by us
Instead of love you hate
So they chant
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
Eat caviar, drink champagne
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
At the death of the child of a slave
Child of a slave
Ooooh oho oho
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Leadership don’t mean damnation
Love don’t mean retaliation
If we don’t stop these wars
Who’s gonna be at fault?
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
Eat caviar, drink champagne
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
At the death of the child of a slave
Child of a slave
Ooooh oho oho
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Remember our forefather’s tears?
The lives which were lost
For us to see peaceful years?
When shot stop
Who remains flat?
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
Eat caviar, drink champagne
Hip hip hooray they celebrate
At the death of the child of a slave
Child of a slave
Ooooh oho oho
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
