Blue Skies
Eva Hamer
CHORUS Am Dm7 Am They just want blues skies and family Am Dm7 E7 Clean clear water, happy safe and free Am Dm7 Am Long lives, enough to eat Am Dm7 E7 Am Going outside, just like me
VERSE Am Dm7 Am Mei Hua was born on a “humane” farm Am Dm7 E7 Her brothers were killed within days of being born Am Dm7 Am As soon as they were sexed, they were ground alive Am Dm7 E7 Am Mei thought they were lucky though she survived
Ella is the picture of a corporate lie
Without wires to protect her she was left to die
To get eaten by the others who had starved for days
But her eggs cost more ‘cause she had no cage
CHORUS
Oliver was a tiny dog
He was just fed garbage from a giant trough
He was headed to Yulin to be killed for meat
Till his liberators came and now he’s free
A little black dog on the very same farm
Begged and whined to come along
But there was room for three and not for more
We can’t forget her, number four
CHORUS
Madison’s mom never turned around
Birthed so many babies and she heard their sounds
But she didn’t see them once in seventeen days
Then the farmer came and took them away
Oliver was furry but Miley’s not
So some folx think she deserves to be shot
As if a dog is a person and a pig is a thing
And a human being is almighty king
BRIDGE Am C C/B Am Am/E A C C/B Am I know you know no one deserves being treated like a thing Am C C/B Am We will save them name them love them Am C C/B Am E7 Speak and write and sing (That they need)
