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 want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And 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 want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you want to be free
Then don't speak like a
slave to me
And you you want to be heard
But none of us ever ever
understand a word
And you you want to be free
Then don't speak like a
slave to me
And you you got to be heard
none of us ever ever
understand a word
you you want to be free
Then don't speak like a
slave
