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? |
