The School Of Assassins Lyrics

Has your life got you down? Are you feeling lost and blue?

I'm thinking maybe a career change is the best answer for you!

You've never lived, never known true romance,

'Til you been taught the steps to the death dance

For Benning, Georgia, is gonna teach you how to move!



[chorus]

Take our rights back, stand up for liberty!

This is the era when we give the world a better way!

Take our rights back, shut down the SOA!

This is the era when we give the world a better way!



Torture, rape, murder and death are all wating for you

Democracy subversion well they got that covered too!

The grad names on their walls, most infamous of all dictators/coup leaders

Learn well someday you maybe ranked with these awsome k-k-k-k-killers!!



[chorus]

Take our rights back, stand up for liberty!

This is the era when we give the world a better way!

Take our rights back, shut down the SOA!

This is the era when we give the world a better way!



Take our rights back, stand up for liberty!

This is the era when we give the world a better way!

Take our rights back, shut down the SOA!

The setting sun can burn a brilliant vibrant flame!



[Spoken Word by Father Roy Bourgeois] 

We can see our country at work in Latin-America

On the side of the men with the guns, the sweatshops, 

The IMF of the world bank



They're selling war as peace (Strike!)

Do we need it in our name? (Strike!, Strike back!)

Tax dollars from the war machine (Strike!)

The people can't leave me in stains (Strike!, Strike back!)



[Spoken Word Continued]

We are on the side of the poor. 

We are on the side of life and hope and nonviolence

AHHHHH!!!



Take our rights back! Stand up for liberty!

This is the era when we give the world a better way!

Take our rights back! Shut down the SOA!

The setting son can burn a brilliant vibrant flame!



Vibrant flame
