The Call - 46664

46664 - The Call

Written and recorded by Queen (and possibly others). Length 4:36 approx.

The studio version of this track has not been officially released, yet.

The live version is basically the first half of the track, the studio version then continues with an orchestral section, another verse and chorus, then an instrumental outro.

There seem to be at least two versions of this track available.

The first (Mix 1) is in relatively poor quality and was played on Capitol Radio in the UK in 2003. MP3's of this track omit some of the intro reducing the time to 4:26.

The second version (Mix 2), is available in near-studio quality, and has a single lyric change at the start of the track (this lyric was also sung on the live performance).

There are also some differences in the volumes especially during the quieter sections of the track, there may also be some other changes, but the sound quality makes it hard to compare.

The Call - 46664

Yeah

There was a man in the street just the other day

With a tear and a hand thin long hand stretched out looking my way

Said 'your money, your sympathy, I really don't need

What I want is you to see how my brothers bleed'

Doctor, oh doctor, my world needs attention

Got sickness and poverty just too bad to mention

Got people too blind to see what's going by

My country stored it's wealth and now it can't figure why

But the rest of the world wants it back now

They got no weapons so they just bug us for the crack now

You gonna stand by and let this go on indefinitely?

Let our leaders articulate our indifference with impunity?

Are you a man?

Or just a number?

Help, help, we need you

Your world needs you

Needs you to know

Needs you to sit up

Needs you to take action and say

No, this will not happen

No, we will not let this happen

No, it shall not be one law for the black, one law for the white

It shall not be one law for the man, one law for the woman

It shall not be one law for the heterosexual, one law for the homosexual

One law for the rich country, one law for the poor country

It shall be one law only

It shall be equality, equality of opportunity

Equality of healthcare, equality of power

Equality of civil rights

Are you a woman?

Or just a number?

Make the call

Yeah

So people, will we let these children die

So we get less mouths to feed

Or shall we ????? and administer to them in their hour of need

AIDS is the terror our children must fear

AIDS is the name we shudder just to hear

AIDS is the word at the back of our minds

AIDS is like no other, the threat of all mankind

AIDS is the call to tear the boundaries down

The issue we must clearly face now

Equality, equality of opportunity

Equality of healthcare, equality of power

Equality of civil rights

Equality of all humanity

Are you a man?

This is the call
