Lyrics
Seattle was a riot, they tried to pin on us But we didn't show up, with gas and
billy clubs An un-armed mass of thousands, just trying to be heard But there are
no world leaders- that want to hear our words. Ohhh. Why must we riot Why must we
protest Just to be heard - by the world? The World Bank's greed and lies, digs
graves in 3rd world lands And fills them with the remains of exploited workers Or
displaced native peoples, and destroyed ecosystems Under the guise of progress,
relief, and tech assistance. Ohhh. Since the dawn of history -the few who own
control Have bent and rewrote history-how they want it to go They try to control
what we learn-and take away our rights Cause when the masses round the world
unite That's a force they can not fight We'll fight for our We'll fight for our
We'll fight for our We'll fight for our Rights! Sitting in what was designated
the "Cooperation Zone" by Seattle Police Sergeant Richard Goldstein They sat
heads bowed- listening as the police methodically shot pepper spray- one eye at a
time into the eyes of their passive brothers and sisters Whore like police-
playing judge, jury, and executioner for their pimp like bosses in the World Band
and W.T.O. This is not justice. This is not the role of, The Servants of the
People Such tyranny brings ruling classes crashing to the ground and contemporary
societies to an end.
I hope you like this....cuz it took me a long time!.........enjoy!
Elijah
