Rooster crows at the break of dawn
a mother dies without her only son
a doctor laughs in the face of disease
i never once heard a preacher say please
And you, you want to be heard
but none of us understand a word
and you, you want to be free
then don't speak like a slave to me.
Policemen who break the laws
politicians rise and fall
a baby crying for its mothers milk
a daddy's secret hidden guilt
And you, you want to be heard
but none of us understand a word
and you, you want to be free
then don't speak like a slave to me.
