Human Beings

Sitting in the desert

Keeping off the flies

Swollen stomach, swollen head

And sad and swollen eyes

Waiting for the charity

That slowly dribbles in

This little boy's relying on

The colour of your skin

We did it for the jaguars

The pandas and the seals

And saved protected species

With our desperate appeals

We did it for the elephants

And monkeys in a sack

And just like you we lost a few

They're never coming back

Crouching in the diesel fumes

Holding out their hands

Open targets, open to a

Million grains of sand

Glaring in the camera

Blinking in the lights

Hoping for a miracle to set the world to rights

We're cutting back on our aerosols

Saving on our fuel

And stomping out the bloodsports

We've decided it's too cruel
