To the ones that we’ve forgotten
And labelled as insane
In institutions rotting
Secret mars of family shame
Bound tightly and injected
Subdued by pill-regimes
Suspended animation
Pull the rug over the stain
Mistreated and molested
Fed food not fit for pigs
If we’re to call them human beings
Why treat their lives as shit?
No chance of contribution
To well-oiled society
Viewed as manure walking
Wastes of very air we breathe
Rejected; disavowed
Buried beneath our shallow smiles
What do they mean for us
And what do they deserve?
Four padded walls, their coffins
Underfunded understaffed
In a putrid squalor wallow
While the rich and perfect have a laugh
And labelled as insane
In institutions rotting
Secret mars of family shame
Bound tightly and injected
Subdued by pill-regimes
Suspended animation
Pull the rug over the stain
Mistreated and molested
Fed food not fit for pigs
If we’re to call them human beings
Why treat their lives as shit?
No chance of contribution
To well-oiled society
Viewed as manure walking
Wastes of very air we breathe
Rejected; disavowed
Buried beneath our shallow smiles
What do they mean for us
And what do they deserve?
Four padded walls, their coffins
Underfunded understaffed
In a putrid squalor wallow
While the rich and perfect have a laugh
