Child of a Slave

[Intro]
They celebrate now, yeah
They celebrate now

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Remember our forefather's tears?
The lives which were lost
For us to see peaceful years?
When shot stop
Who remains flat?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Leadership don't mean damnation
Love don't mean retaliation
If we don't stop these wars
Who’s gonna be at fault?

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Remember our forefather's tears?
The lives which were lost
For us to see peaceful years?
When shot stop
Who remains flat?

[Chorus]
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
