Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son
A doctor laughs at the face of disease
I never once heard a preacher say please

[Chorus]
But you want to be heard
None of us understand a word, no no no no no
And you want to be free, yes you do now
Then don't speak like a slave to me

Policemen who break the law
Politicians rise and fall
A baby crying for its mothers milk
A daddy's secret hidden guilt

[Chorus]
You want to be heard
But none of us understand a word, no no no
You want to be free, yes you do now
Then don't speak like a slave to me, yeah

You, you want to be heard, yes you do now, huh
But none of us never never understand a word, no no no no
You want to be free, yes you do now
Then don't speak like a slave to me, yeah yeah
And you, you're just trying to be heard, well
But none of us never never understand a word, no no no no no no
You, you want to be free, yes you do now
Then don't you speak like a slave to me, ow
