Cry Out
Ingemar Olsson

She's sitting all day long a-weaving carpets of yarn
That's what she's done almost ever since the day she was born
They never give her a break, although her fingers ache
And her back is sore and hurts more and more
A never-ending constraint until she's ready to faint
Cause she can hardly bear that hot and dirty air
But she may never leave and she will never be free
Cause she has been sold to that factory

Oh-oh-oh cry out - how you feel about it
Oh-oh-oh cry out - come on, scream and shout it
Oh-oh-oh cry out - let it show that you really care
Oh-oh-oh cry out - in every fashion
Oh-oh-oh cry out - out of true compassion
Oh-oh-oh cry out - to a world that is so unfair

He was a happy guy who never used to cry
Until a rank of soldiers came into his town
He saw them steal and rob and do their dirty job
Until they finally shot his own mother down
And then it didn't take long 'til he was dragged along
He had to follow in line with those killing men
Now he's a soldier too, with hatred thru and thru
And he will never be able to laugh again
Oh-oh-oh cry out ...

Her home is in the street and it ain't so neat
With lack of money and food to eat
But she's looking good and it's understood
That her body is only a tourist's treat
And after she's been laid she's hopefully been paid
So she can buy herself a small piece of bread
A life in misery and with the HIV
In a few years ahead she will I surely be dead

Oh-oh-oh cry out ...

You're on the highest pitch if you are well and rich
But if you're sick and poor, it's all done
You never stand a chance or even get a glance
Of food and clothing, you just get none
But if you wear a tie and have a dark lounge suite
And with a credit card to pay
You get delicious food, served with attitude
And French wine with the right bouquet

Oh-oh-oh cry out ...
