Free Gary - Dan Bull

We’re against the extradition of Gary McKinnon

Not letting it happen to him

He’s a valuable Briton, a man with a gift

And we’re standing around while they’re banishing him?

There’s the evidence, where’s the terrorist?

Is America pissed 'cause he damaged their image?

It’s hardly the baddest of sins, is it?

Admit it

Grab a pen, hand me the petition

To stick the extradition act in the bin

I’m not having that — take a fragile man from his habitat

As a matter of fact, such a talented hacker

Should have a salary at NASA

But no salary, just a cell

I really think justice just as well’d be

Served up in Great Britain

Where McKinnon can be with his family

But apparently a British citizen

Isn’t considered innocent if Uncle Sam disagrees

Well Dan disagrees

I’m demanding Gary’s release

Put your hands up and be counted

'Cause we are demanding Gary’s release

Free, free Gary McKinnon

Free, free Gary McKinnon

Look: I see Gmail peeping at my e-mail

But I doubt they’re going to see jail

If we let them take him, we’ve failed

The train to justice derailed

Doesn’t matter if he’s male or female

Disabled, Asian

We need to rail against the veiled pretense

How can we let them prevail?

Read the details — extradition

A one way system against tradition

If an American did it

He’d never be sent to prison in Britain

So if they reckon they’re getting McKinnon

They better be kidding, innit

Pester your local politician

To petition to abolish it

And prevent this horrible predicament

Use common sense, not ignorance

Not submission to a hegemony:

There’s the prisoner, now where’s the money?

What’s the difference

Has anybody got permission to wreck somebody?

Watch and listen:

So the Pentagon’s

Defences weren’t working as they’re meant to work

They were happy as Larry

That’s 'til Gary gathered they were hackable actually

And yes, he acted silly

But imagine if the act was military

He could have smashed security to pieces

Wreaking a national emergency

But he didn’t, 'cause he isn’t a criminal

But a fantastic Asperger’s geek

Free, free Gary McKinnon

Free, free Gary McKinnon

Free, free Gary McKinnon

Free, free Gary McKinnon

Yours sincerely

Dan Bull
