Cry for Help

歌詞

Have you ever heard a beagle cry Howling in his pain? Waiting for his coup de grace in his cage Do you wonder when you're playing chess Where your ivory king is from? Can you see the elephant croaking in his blood? Subdue the earth he said But look what we have done The pride of creation we've been But what have we become What would God do, it he was one of us Would he stop the pain? What would God do, if he was one of us Would he light the flame? Who sheds a tear for the crocodile That you carry as a bag? Does your mink coat still keep you warm When you think about its fate? It ain't just another protest song About laboratory crimes It's also a cry for help For the cowards of our time For the beauty and eternal youth And so many human lies To satisfy man's vanity Do we all close our eyes? What would God do, if he was one of us Would he stop the pain? What would God do, if he was one of us Would he feel the shame? What would God do, if he was one of us Would he take the blame? What would God do, if he was one of us Would he light the flame?
