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.
