Recall or Induced Memory


Recall or Induced Memory

 

Chained to a cold

Wet wall

Shouting for attention

In a cave in Laos

Shouting shouting

 

No one answers

Only the dark wet wall

An occasional echo

But no one hears

No one cares

 

Yelling and screaming

Bears no results

Is it because no one hears

Or no one wants to hear

 

“We gotta get out of this place
If it's the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

We gotta get out of this place”
