Lyrics by : Polly Jean Harvey

Composed by : Polly Jean 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 just do what they're told

The doctors just do 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
