Elephants and donkeys

Stomp on each other's heads

And kick each other's faces

And people fight over who

Wants to ride what

 

Some want to ride the donkeys

Others want to climb aboard the elephants

They want to race each other

Just to see which animal is better

In terms of travelling

 

But after a while, 

You start to see that

Elephants and donkeys

Can only go for so long without water

The people can only cheer for a while

 

Until their own heads and their children's heads

Are stomped flat into the concrete

Their own faces and their children's faces

Are destroyed by the violent kicks

The unbearable pains make them beg

 

They ask for a camel to be sent

And to them, a camel is sent

But then they flay off the camel's hump

And they drain out his blood

Then back to the sadism of the elephants and donkeys

 

Elephants and donkeys are what they ride

Elephants and donkeys, to where they have died
