Red Football

I'm not no red football

To be 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

When a window which people would look through

And throw coins on his back to 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

And i've every intention

Of leaping up and getting you
