Lyrics

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 wanna be heard, hey But none of us understand a word No, no, no, no, no And you wanna be free Yes, you do now But don't speak like a slave to me Policemen who break the law Politicians they rise and fall A baby cryin' for its mother's milk, yeah A daddy's secret, a hidden guilt, hoo But you wanna be heard But none of us understand a word No, no, no And you wanna be free Yes, you do now Because you're speakin' like a slave to me, yeah Ooo, ya see you know what you're thinkin' Aah And a, you, you wanna be heard Yes you do now, uhh But none of us ever, ever understand a word No, no, no, no And you, you wanna be free Yes, you do now But don't you speak like a slave to me, yeah And you who desired to be heard, well But none of us ever, ever understand a word No, no, no, no, no, no You, you wanna be free, hey But [Incomprehensible] don't you speak like a slave to me Aah Now, now, now, now, now Aah, uh uh, ah ah, oo oo
