"Shaker Aamer" lyrics
"Shaker Aamer"
No water for three days
I cannot sleep or stay awake
Four months hunger strike
Am I dead, or am I alive?
With metal tubes, we are force fed
I honestly wish, I wish I was dead
Strapped in the restraining chair
Shaker Aamer, your friend
In Camp 5, eleven years
Never charged, six years cleared
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away
They took away my one note pad
And then refused to give it back
I can't think straight, I write, I stop
Your friend Shaker Aamer, lost
The guards just do what they 're told
The doctors just what they're told
Like an old car rusting away
Your friend, Shaker, Guantanamo Bay
Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget, don't forget
Don't forget, don't forget, don't forget

Massive Attack - "Man Next Door" There's a man that lived next door
In my neighborhood
