Tourist fun

Lyrics: Mariëlla Tirotto
A cute little monkey does its
tricks, tourists cheer and have fun
Iron chains around its neck make
sure that it doesn’t run
The owner cares for one thing
only: lots of money, that’s his goal
He pulls the chains a little
bit harder, that’s his way of keeping control
Is there no one to realize, the
sadness in its eyes
No way out, the misery, will
always be
Why don’t we interfere, put an
end to the fear
It’s up to us, do I make myself
clear?!
Donkeys collapsing under their
load of fat and lazy cows,
who sat for hours on a boat, now
still have the nerve to groan and moan
The owner cares for one thing
only: lots of money, that’s his goal
He beats the donkeys a little
bit harder, that’s his way of keeping control
Is there no one to realize, the
sadness in their eyes
No way out, the misery, will
always be
Why don’t we interfere, put an
end to the fear
It’s up to us, do I make myself
clear?!
Lots of stories I could tell,
too gruesome to be heard
All of them about abuse of the
beautiful creatures of this world
They say mankind is civilized,
dream on, or better yet, wake up
The things that are done in the
name of fun: it’s time they’re put to a stop
And we are all to blame, why
don’t we feel ashamed
The suffering, the fear, the hurt,
this song is a red alert
Cause we can interfere, put an
end to it all
So come on now, don’t ignore
this call!
Hey , hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It’s up to you and you and you
and you and you and you
It’s up to us!!!
