| 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? |
