As the sun goes down over Istanbul town a father and mother weep In an 'F'-block jail behind the steel rail for the last time their daughter sleeps Starving for human rights she won't give up the fight let her know neither will we For as long as the fascists are in control there they'll come closer to you and to me
Through countless years of torture and fear this corrupt state of evil survives Neath(Beneath) the blazing sun this rebellion will uncover this governments lies Mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers starve inside and outside the jails If we don't help them now we won't need to ask how this human rights process will fail
Back in '81 our very own sons did starve against such evil ways Though it's been twenty years we still shed our tears for the suffering they went through each day. Starving for human rights she won't give up the fight let her know neither will we For as long as the fascists are in control there they'll come closer to you and to me
Travel agents disguise this government's lies selling holiday breaks in this land If you can hear the plea of the boycott they need then you've started to reach out your hand Mothers and daughters, sisters and brothers starve inside and outside the jails If we don't help them now we won't need to ask how this human rights process will fail Starving for human rights she won't give up the fight let her know neither will we For as long as the fascists are in control there they'll come closer to you and to me.
