Red Football Songtext

von Sinead oConnor

I'm not no red football to kicked around the garden
No no
I'm a red christmas tree ball, and I'm fragile
I'm not no animal, though I am to you
I'm not no crocodile, like the one in Dublin Zoo
Who lived in a cage the length and breadth of his body
With a window people would look through
And throw coins on his back and taunt him though he couldn't move
Even if he wanted to

I'm not no animal in the zoo
I'm not no whipping boy for you
You may not treat me like you do
I'm not no animal in the zoo

My skin is not a football for you
My head is not a football for you
My body's not a football for you
My womb is not a football for you
My heart is not a football for you

I'm not no animal in the zoo
This animal will jump up and eat you
I'm not no animal in the zoo
I've every intention of leaping up and getting you.

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala.
