Why must we riot?
Why must we protest?
Just to be heard.
By the world.... Alright! We, 1,2,3,4...

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?
Go!

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,
on destroyed ecosystems.
Under the guise of "progress,
relief, and tech a__istance." Ohhh.

Chorus.

Since the dawn of history,
the few who hold 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, can-not-fight!!

We'll fight for our....
We'll fight for our...
We'll fight for our...
We'll fight for our Rights!

Chorus.

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 our passive brothers and sisters.

Who are like police - playing judge, jury, and executioner for 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, contemporary societies to an end.
