Show Us You Care

I’m over here in the cage

Take a real good look at my face

I smoked twenty fags today • The pain from the

experiment has gone away...

But it’ll be back soon & I hope I don’t live through it

I hope I’ll die

Breathe my last breath

A way out of a fate worse than death

My pain to ease yours

It’s a raw deal my rights for your ignorance greed &

vanity

But I forgot, curiosity rules

I mean nothing & you just couldn’t care

But you don’t bloody care & it just ain’t fair that

I’ve got screws in my

head

Or if I wind up dead

Or if I look pathetic

Or if I’ll get an anesthetic

Or if I meow or scream for your cosmetic cream

Or if they swap my heart

Or if I’m torn apart

They torment my brain again & again

Or if they swell up my eyes or increase my size

Or if I’m strapped & trapped to a table or chair

C’mon admit it you just don’t care

If they rip me open & just start poking around

For a remedy to an illness which doesn’t exist

Or if they start again for something they’ve missed

I must have rights & I want my share

But if only, if only you’d show us you care

You know I’ve rights & I want my share

But if only, if only you’d show us you care

’Cos you can’t understand my voice

Somehow it always leaves me no choice

I can’t expect you to voice my rights

When you don’t even voice your own

Because of your ignorance I guess we’ll always pay

We fellow beings just hope you’ll realise on day

That we’ve got lots in common

One is that were both downtrodden by the people

Who’ve got big plans for this nation

You see they even test animals with chemical warfare

Weapons effects & riot control agents & radiation &

whilst you’re ignoring

There’s a big bang coming

Maybe you owe it to yourselves to show us you care

So come on & free us

Free us..... I dare
