TUSKEEGEE #626


Tuskeegee #626
Somebody done got slick
When deadly germs are taking turns
Seeing what makes us tick


Tuskeegee #626
Scientists getting their kicks
When deadly disease can do what it please
Results ain't hard to predict


Tuskeegee #626
Pushed aside mighty quick
When brothers, you dig
Are guinea pigs
For vicious experiments.

Written by Gil Scott-Heron (1949-2011)
