LYRIC FOR SALE

By Bernard Morris

(verse 1)
On dirty beddings
In filthy barns
Neglected ponies sleep
In appalling conditions
With hooves overgrown
A sight to make you weep
Living in their
Own excrement
The smell is overbearing
The cruelty shown
By their owners
Unbelievably unsparing

(chorus)
Humanity continues
To make me feel sick
Sometimes I’m ashamed to belong
To a race that inflicts
Cruelty and pain
Surely they can see that it’s wrong

(verse 2)
A German Shepherd
Is brutally abused
By its cruel and evil owner
Fiendish beatings
With clenched fists
Bring joy to the sadistic controller
The dog yelps
In heartbreaking pain
With no longer the strength to bark
And at night in the winter
It is left uncovered
Chained to a fence in the dark

(chorus)
Humanity continues
To make me feel sick
Sometimes I’m ashamed to belong
To a race that inflicts
Cruelty and pain
Surely they can see that it’s wrong

(instrumental bridge)

(verse 3)
A chicken is killed
With a crossbow
The vile and vicious killer laughs
Why anyone would want
To be so evil
Is impossible to grasp
A cat is horrifically beaten
Strangled
Punched and kicked
The evil bastard
Who did it
Gets his earhole clipped

(verse 4)
A defenceless puppy
Is beaten to death
And dumped at night in the park
What a truly horrific way
For a beautiful creature
From this world to depart
A collapsed bulldog
Is left dripping with blood
After a sickening machete attack
If ever
I saw the attacker
He’d have nothing left intact

(chorus)
Humanity continues
To make me feel sick
Sometimes I’m ashamed to belong
To a race that inflicts
Cruelty and pain
Surely they can see that it’s wrong
