Shaker Aamer

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 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
