Until Every Cage Is Empty

It's a place where they break hearts and they break spirits
There's no mercy for the feather or the fur
There's no reason and there's no sense of purpose
Their existence is just something to endure

Can you tell me what they did to you East London
Cant you see what's happening in your name
There's a place of disgrace in our city
And your city should be ashamed

We'll sing this song 'till every cage is empty
We'll sing this song 'till every cage is cleared
And you cant be sure if this is worse than dying
For the jaguar, the vulture or the bear

We'll sing this song 'till every cage is empty
We'll sing this song 'till every cage is cleared
But at night I swear you hear some creatures crying
And by day they've got this middle-distance stare

There's a darkness, there's a haunting, there's a reckoning
There's a debt that grows with interest every day
And a curse upon the people who defend this
And on those who choose to look the other way
