Another Suicide Today

Hey bud Jacky! Keep it bloody down

Don't ya know that ears have walls?

Shhh! It's the warder coming 'round

Keep it in your head mate

If you've anything to say

Or else they'll find us dead mate

Another suicide today

Another suicide today the newspaper's will tell

Two drying out old black men found hanging in the cells

Another suicide today radio will speak

Ah the future of the black man looking very bloody bleak

Another suicide today the coroner will find

All the evidence has gone astray.

Doesn't anybody mind?

So keep it in your head mate

Let's make it through the night

And, in the morning when we wake

we can carry on the fight

Hey! C'mon Jacky wake up!

Oh no! He's done himself

Now he's just another document

Gathering dust upon the shelf
