Slave Lyrics

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Don't want to be your Slave
Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave

Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave

Twenty-four hours a day
Hey, why don't you go down to the supermarket, get something to eat
Steal something of the shelves
Pass by the liquor store, be back about quarter to twelve

Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave (go, baby)
Don't want to be your slave (yeah)
Don't want to be your slave (go, baby)
Don't want to be your slave (yeah, baby)

(Go, yeah, go, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave

Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave
Don't want to be your slave

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it

Slave Song Chart

Originally recorded at the Black And Blue sessions in 1974, this song went on for a while and was called "The Black And Blue Jam" before being reworked for Tattoo You.

Jazz great Sonny Rollins was brought in to play sax.

Pete Townshend from The Who sang backup. Some connections between Townshend and The Stones:

Townshend claims he stole his legendary windmill arm swing from Keith Richards.

The Who played at The Stones Rock And Roll Circus concert event in 1968. The film wasn't released until 1996.

In 1976, Townshend contributed to Ron Wood and Ronnie Lane's Mahoney's Last Stand project.

In 1982, following the end of the Stones' European tour, Mick Jagger accompanied The Who for parts of their farewell tour. The following year, on Mick's 40th birthday, Townshend wrote an unflattering letter in the London Times commenting on the significance of this event.

Townshend played on Mick Jaggers first solo album in 1984.

In February 1986, Townshend was one of those present when the Stones gave their London club performance in honor of Ian Stewart, joining the band onstage for some Blues numbers.

In January 1989, he inducted The Stones into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

In 2001, he played on the songs "Gun" and "Joy" for Jagger's Goddess In The Doorway album. (thanks, Bertrand - Paris, France)

The original version recorded in 1974 featured Billy Preston on organ, Jeff Beck on guitar, and Nicky Hopkins on piano. Their parts were erased when it was reworked.

The CD version of Tattoo You contains an extra 90 seconds.
