Shaker Aamer
PJ Harvey
No water for three days
I cannot sleep or stay awake
Four months hunger strike
Am I dead or am I alive?
With metal tubes we are force fed
I honestly wish, I wish I was dead
Strapped in the restraining chair
Shaker Aamer, your friend
In Camp 5, eleven years
Never charged, six years cleared
Fade away, fade away, fade away
Fade away, fade away, fade away
They took away my one note pad
And then refused to givе it back
I can't think straight, I write, I stop
Your friend Shaker Aamеr, lost
The guards, they just do what they're told
The doctors just what they're told
Like an old car rusting away
Your friend, Shaker, Guantanamo Bay
Don't forget, don’t forget, don’t forget, don’t forget
Don’t forget, don’t forget, don’t forget
