Prescribing Horror

[01:24.28] Discarded, deformed
[01:26.86] Babies of the chemical age
[01:30.28] Mutated, some unborn
[01:32.74] Dying in their fetal cage
[01:36.38] On the day of the nativity in '56
[01:39.22] Comes a child forsaken
[01:41.55] The first of a hundred thousand
[01:44.76] Cursed by a drug they'd taken
[01:48.01] Condemned to a life unkind
[01:51.15] As they suffered in silence
[01:54.05] The hell of Thalidomide
[01:56.83] All in the name of science
[02:00.28] A mother's ruin
[02:02.84] All for another's greed
[02:06.09] Prescribing horror
[02:08.52] And sorrow when they breed
[02:14.33]
[02:42.04] Miscarriage, disparage
[02:45.18] Live a life of anguish
[02:48.35] Midwives were taking lives
[02:50.43] So the child it would not languish
[02:53.93] Suffocating newborn daughters and sons
[02:57.28] For their malformations
[03:00.35] Given toxic poison
[03:02.35] That twisted a generation
[03:06.07] Condemned to a life unkind
[03:09.32] As they suffered in silence
[03:12.01] The hell of Thalidomide
[03:14.71] All in the name of science
[03:17.94] A mother's ruin
[03:20.76] All for another's greed
[03:24.12] Prescribing horror
[03:26.52] And sorrow when they breed
[03:30.13] First created in the past
[03:33.11] As an antidote for Sarin gas
[03:36.07] Created in camps of death
[03:39.12] What price a pound of flesh?
[03:42.13] Limbless, eyeless
[03:44.83] All organs displaced
[03:47.98] They made money hand over fist
[03:50.55] By selling this toxic waste
[03:54.29] Condemned to a life unkind
[03:57.24] As they suffered in silence
[04:00.29] The hell of Thalidomide
[04:02.57] All in the name of science
[04:05.98] A mother's ruin
[04:08.98] All for another's greed
[04:12.10] Prescribing horror
[04:14.53] And sorrow when they breed
[04:18.27]
