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.
