Show us you care

I’m over here in the cage
Take a real good look at my face
I smoked twenty fags today 
The pain from the experiment has gone away...
But it’ll be back soon and I hope I don’t live through it
I hope I’ll die
Breathe my last breath
A way out of a fate worse than death
My pain to ease yours
It’s a raw deal my rights for your ignorance greed and vanity
But I forgot, curiosity rules
I mean nothing and you just couldn’t care

But you don’t bloody care and it just ain’t fair
That I’ve got screws in my head
Or if I wind up dead
Or if I look pathetic
Or if I’ll get an anesthetic
Or if I meow or scream for your cosmetic cream
Or if they swap my heart
Or if I’m torn apart
They torment my brain again and again
Or if they swell up my eyes or increase my size
Or if I’m strapped and trapped to a table or chair
C’mon admit it you just don’t care
If they rip me open and just start poking around
For a remedy to an illness which doesn’t exist
Or if they start again for something they’ve missed
I must have rights and I want my share
But if only, if only you’d show us you care
You know I’ve rights and I want my share
But if only, if only you’d show us you care

’Cause to you I've got no voice
Somehow it always leaves me no choice
I can’t expect you to voice my rights
When you don’t even voice your own
Because of your ignorance I guess we’ll always pay
We fellow beings just hope you’ll realise one day
That we’ve got lots in common
One is that were both downtrodden by the people
Who’ve got big plans for this nation
You see they even test animals with chemical warfare
Weapons effects and riot control agents and radiation
And whilst you’re ignoring there’s a big bang coming
Maybe you owe it to yourselves to show us you care
So come on and free us
Free us..... I dare
