Test Dummy

They made junkies outta men
Women and children too
Poked and examined them
In a secret human zoo

Declared war under their breaths
And took no credit at all
Then they quietly confessed
While nobody took the fall

I was a human test dummy
I was an ape in a lab
They locked me up and took from me what nobody should've had
What nobody should've had

Black panthers, white panthers
And goddamn brown berets
All had 'em wanting answers
On how to put us away

With cocaine and heroin
Oh, so quietly they crept
Dead or rotting in prison
Exactly how they want us kept

I was a human test dummy
I was an ape in a lab
They locked me up and took from me what nobody should've had
What nobody should've had
What nobody should've had
What nobody should've had

On bad days I remember
On good days I forget
I was a human test dummy
And don't nobody give a shit

I was a human test dummy
I was an ape in a lab
They locked me up and took from me
What nobody should've had

I was a human test dummy
I was an ape in a lab
They locked me up and took from me
What nobody should've had
