 <\/p>\n

So, once again it repeats<\/p>\n

The people, they want to speak<\/p>\n

We didn’t like it before<\/p>\n

Now we just don’t believe<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The reason we roam the streets<\/p>\n

In t-shirts and ripped up jeans<\/p>\n

And sweaters in sweltering heat<\/p>\n

And boots with laces thick<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And blouses with purses hanging<\/p>\n

The music it could be banging<\/p>\n

The blaring horns are wilding<\/p>\n

In combat with constant sirens<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Enough is enough,” we’re crying<\/p>\n

Holding up and waving our signs in<\/p>\n

The middle of cityscape, no escape<\/p>\n

You will listen this time<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Canisters, they blow up so loud<\/p>\n

To try and deafen the crowd<\/p>\n

Blowing them up to chunks<\/p>\n

Separating their body parts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the spirit is still intact<\/p>\n

“You’ll have to bring more than that”<\/p>\n

You try to stifle the people<\/p>\n

The people they will react<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
