Seattle Was A Riot Lyrics

Seattle Was A Riot 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.
