Down in Turkey I saw the poor dancing bears
Down in Turkey I saw the poor dancing bears
Looked into the eyes and all I saw was fear
Looked into the eyes all I saw was fear
Beaten up with sticks and locked up in chains
Beaten up with sticks and locked up in chains
Just another criminal act of the human race
Just another act of the poor human race
Broken jawbones, they've got rings through their nose
Broken jawbones and rings through their nose
This is not the way their life has to go
This is not the way their life has to go
Please free the bears and give them a place
Free them bears and give them a place
Where they can be happy on a natural stage
