"Lite A Flame (The Animal Rights Song)" lyrics
"Lite A Flame (The Animal Rights Song)"
In the zoo
They gave him a cage
Circus put a sparkle
On his face
Away from life
The elephant walks
Shadow across a dream
Lost for ivory
Oh, freedom
Lite a flame
It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain
Masai moon
In the morningrise
Africa
The world comes alive
A matriarch
Leads the tribe
To the sweet water
The cool feelin'
And the way to survive
Oh, freedom
Lite a flame
It's like prejudice
For the color of your skin
Prejudice for a woman
Prejudice for an animal
Like the elephant of the plain
Of the plain
For greed not need
Societies sleep
Lead the killing hand on
Young ones full of spark
A wave of birds across the park
Kids climbing
Sliding, riding free
Elephant child hiding
Behind a tree
Prejudice
For an animal
Like the elephant of the plain

Paul Simon - "American Tune" Many's the time I've been mistaken
And many times confused

Still, you don't...
Carole King - "Goin' Back" I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth

Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more...
