Free Gary |
We’re against the extradition of Gary McKinnon |
Not letting it happen to him |
He’s a valuable Briton, a man with a gift |
And we’re standing around while they’re banishing him? |
There’s the evidence, where’s the terrorist? |
Is America pissed 'cause he damaged their image? |
It’s hardly the baddest of sins, is it? |
Admit it |
Grab a pen, hand me the petition |
To stick the extradition act in the bin |
I’m not having that — take a fragile man from his habitat |
As a matter of fact, such a talented hacker |
Should have a salary at NASA |
But no salary, just a cell |
I really think justice just as well’d be |
Served up in Great Britain |
Where McKinnon can be with his family |
But apparently a British citizen |
Isn’t considered innocent if Uncle Sam disagrees |
Well Dan disagrees |
I’m demanding Gary’s release |
Put your hands up and be counted |
'Cause we are demanding Gary’s release |
Free, free Gary McKinnon |
Free, free Gary McKinnon |
Look: I see Gmail peeping at my e-mail |
But I doubt they’re going to see jail |
If we let them take him, we’ve failed |
The train to justice derailed |
Doesn’t matter if he’s male or female |
Disabled, Asian |
We need to rail against the veiled pretense |
How can we let them prevail? |
Read the details — extradition |
A one way system against tradition |
If an American did it |
He’d never be sent to prison in Britain |
So if they reckon they’re getting McKinnon |
They better be kidding, innit |
Pester your local politician |
To petition to abolish it |
And prevent this horrible predicament |
Use common sense, not ignorance |
Not submission to a hegemony: |
There’s the prisoner, now where’s the money? |
What’s the difference |
Has anybody got permission to wreck somebody? |
Watch and listen: |
So the Pentagon’s |
Defences weren’t working as they’re meant to work |
They were happy as Larry |
That’s 'til Gary gathered they were hackable actually |
And yes, he acted silly |
But imagine if the act was military |
He could have smashed security to pieces |
Wreaking a national emergency |
But he didn’t, 'cause he isn’t a criminal |
But a fantastic Asperger’s geek |
Free, free Gary McKinnon |
Free, free Gary McKinnon |
Free, free Gary McKinnon |
Free, free Gary McKinnon |
Yours sincerely |
Dan Bull |
