Baartman Sarah Lyrics

Exploit me

Break me

Cut me open

See my insides

I'm the one who's chosen

You like my body

But do you even like me

Do you even like me?

I'm your monkey

Put me in the circus

Existing before the circuits

Make it plain to see

I'm more than what you

Made me out to be.

I am human

I have a soul

If you gave me a chance

I'd prove more worthy than gold

But my story is still

A story to be told.

Baartman Sarah

I came from a different era

A shape so exotic

That the world had to have it

But look what you did to my carcass

I had no choice but you chose to express it

My limbs torn

Like ornaments adorn

On Christmas Day Christ was born

I died at 26 not on the 25th

What was the cause of this

Where is my God of justice?

Baartman Sarah I exist

Don't take me for granted

History bended

They say my story ended

Body extended

I exist

I exist

Sew me back together again.

I am human

I have a soul

If you gave me a chance

I'd prove more worthy than gold

But my story is still

A story to be told.

Baartman Sarah

I came from a different era

A shape so exotic

That the world had to have it

But look what you did to my carcass

I had no choice but you chose to express it

My limbs torn

Like ornaments adorn

On Christmas Day Christ was born

I died at 26 not on the 25th

What was the cause of this

Where is my God of justice?
