Deattle Was A Riot Lyrics

Artist: Anti-Flag
Album: Live Fat Die Young Fat Wreck Compilation

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? x 2

the world banks 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

why must we riot?
why must we protest?
just to be heard
by the world? x2

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 it's a force they cannot fight we'll fight for our we'll fight for our we'll fight for our we'll fight fo our rights!

why must we riot?
why must we protest?
just to be heard
by the world? x2

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 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 into the ground and contemporary societies to an end
