Do it, do it, do it, do it

Don't want to be your slave

24 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 a quarter to 12?

Got to go...
Yeah baby, yeah baby

... do it
Don't let them do it, no, no
 
 

TrackTalk

(Pete Townshend) came in and decided to sing one track one night. He got on that track Don't Wanna Be Your Slave. I think you can still hear him. There's some other people playing guitar.
