Seattle was a riot


Chorus

Why must we riot

Why must we protest

Just to be heard - by the world?
Verse 1

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.
Chorus
Verse 2

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.
Chorus(repeat)
Bridge

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!
Chorus (repeat)
Ending

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

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
