Master And Servant

Depeche Mode · The Best Of Depeche Mode, Vol. 1 [2009]

There's a new game

We like to play you see

A game with added reality

You treat me like a dog

Get me down on my knees



We call it master and servant

We call it master and servant



It's a lot like life

This play between the sheets

With you on top and me underneath

Forget all about equality



Let's play master and servant

Let's play master and servant



It's a lot like life

And that's what's appealing

If you despise that throwaway feeling

From disposable fun

Then this is the one



Domination's the name of the game

In bed or in life

They're both just the same

Except in one you're fulfilled

At the end of the day



Let's play master and servant

Let's play master and servant



Let's play master and servant

Come on master and servant
