geri's lament (when) - intruder lyrics

Loading...

intro: you put me here where i don’t belong
my body’s old but my mind’s still strong
you’d not believe the things they put me through
it would be so different if they happened to you
look around tell me what you see – pain, suffering, and misery
lonely people who’ve been locked away
with no desire to live another day

left to die, i wonder why? we gave you the best years of our lives!
don’t you see, you are me and soon it’s you they will despise
you don’t care, we don’t dare. who needs the hurt we’ll just pretend
all is right, day and night, you see a smile but our eyes say-

[chorus:]
when-when will they end all their apathy
when-when will they open their eyes to see
when-when will they end the misery
when-when will he finally come for me
when!

up at six, needle pr-cks, another day in h-ll’s begun
someone cries, another dies, we play a game that can’t be won
wet the bed, spoon fed, we relive our childhood again and again
and our sleep is no relief, for in our dreams we still cry-

[chorus]
i remember when we were young
no thought at all of what we would become
they sold us a dream-said we’d never die
but that was over sixty years ago
we’re so much older an now we know
that what they told us was only a lie!
now we realize-what a surprise-everybody dies!

everyday i sit and pray, when will you come and take me home
where’s the love, from above, i feel so lost and all alone
i want to be young and free, not some fourth-cl-ss citizen
it won’t be long and i’ll be gone. ’till then i’ll just keep wondering-

[chorus]
please tell me when!
