Rubber Bullets Lyrics

Rubber Bullets lyrics

We are ready to fight

We are ready to fight it all.

We are ready to
fight with our minds

We are ready to fight with our words

Let me
ask you:

Who is going to police the police?

When they're shooting
up the streets

SHOOTING RUBBER BULLETS

We are ready to fight

FIGHT THEIR RUBBER BULLETS

We are ready to fight.



They
are criminalizing protest



And the evening news shows stories of
the eleven "criminals" 

within a peaceful rally of five thousand
voices



There is no sign of the other four thousand nine hundred
and eighty nine

who lined up eager to be heard, exercising democratic
choices

In fact, they are ignored by cameras who film graffiti on the
corporate bank

And the caption reads: "vandals charged at protest
today"

And who, may I ask, have we to thank for this "incomprehensive"
news footage?



Well, it's not just the media 

because they
are in bed with big business

It's not just the government

because
they are led by corporate interests

It's just a form of three-way
incest!



They are criminalizing protest

they are smirking,
they are smirking

They are criminalizing protest

and it is
working.... 



Meanwhile, back at the protest

the peaceful yet
persistent majority 

With their placards and peace signs and petitions for
their MPs

just do not "have what it takes" to make for entertaining
t.v.

Besides, why be holistic, tell the truth or be unbiased

When
the tv-watching public doesn't question and stays quiet?

And they rely on
this apathy 

The misinformation is the key and it further justifies forms
of police brutality.

(Please don't be quiet, please don't be quiet)







What are we to do?

What do we do about
this?-a
