"Master and Servant" is Depeche Mode's eleventh UK single (released on August 20, 1984) and the second single from the Some Great Reward album. Despite a lot of controversy surrounding the song, it still managed to reach #9 in the UK Singles Chart.

"Master and Servant" comes with the "Slavery Whip Mix", the longest 12" DM song at the time with the outro being turned into a swing version of the refrain, and the "Voxless" version which is an instrumental mix of the song. The B-side is "(Set Me Free) Remotivate Me", its Release Mix is the 12" version. The 7" version edits out much of the beginning.

Some versions include a song called "Are People People?" which uses samples from "People Are People" and chanting. Both "Are People People?" and "Master and Servant [An ON-USound Science Fiction Dance Hall Classic]" appear on Remixes 81 - 04 in 2004. They are remixed by Adrian Sherwood.
=====================

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
