Anyone ever notice the frequent occurrence of the word "slave" in Chris Cornell's lyrics/titles?

*AudioSLAVE
*SLAVES & Bulldozers
*"where the SLAVES are all workin'"--Hunger Strike
*"tears of the feeble, hands of the SLAVES"--Limo Wreck
*"and you swear to me you don't want to be my SLAVE"--J.C. Pose

That's all I could remember, there may be more. Interesting?

    not really.. if he used the word 'labia' then perhaps it would be ;)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Audiolabia :D Maybe the band would've been bigger in England if they'd been called that

    Never thought of that.

    I guess lots of lyricist get caught up with certain words or phrases they enjoy using or seem powerful to them.
