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. ©(p) Pol Mac Adaim.2002. Reality Records. Eugene Judge I inserted an extra copy of verse 1 without the chords. This will make the song easier to find with a search engine. --JoeClone, 22-Mar-04. |
