The Bear Quartet - His Spine

his spine broke with a snap in an accident
no compensation from the insurance company
it's fine, no dreams were shattered
there were none to start with in the first place

hopelessness, despair
lack of vision, education sucks
when you're born and torn
between injustice and bad luck

fundraisers, patronising scum that you are
using the disabled as vehicles
to satisfy your emotional greed
when you know what I need
rights not charity, hope and equality
not to be looked down upon
I'm not stupid just constantly reminded otherwise

hopelessness, despair
lack of vision, education sucks
when you're born and torn
between injustice and bad luck

hopelessness, despair
lack of vision, education sucks
when you're born and torn
