Anti-flag - Seattle Was A Riot Lyrics

Submitted by: AUTO-ADD
Current Rating: None
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 were no world leaders,
That want to hear our words.
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 third world lands.
And fills them with the remains,
Of exploited workers.
Or displaced native peoples,
And destroyed eco-systems,
Under the guide of progress,
Relief,
And teck assistance.
Why must we riot?
Why must we protest?
Just to be heard,
By the world.
Since the dawn of history,
The few who own control.
Have bent and re-wrote history,
How they want it to go.
They try to control what we learn,
And take away our rights.
Cause when the masses of the world unite,
That's a force they cannot fight.
We'll fight for our...(x3)
We'll fight for our...RIGHTS!
Sitting in what was designated the co-operation 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 our passing brothers and sisters. Whore-like police, playing judge, jury, and executioner to their pimp like bosses in the World Bank 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 society to an end.
