A People's Rebellion MAG
we march and they shoot
peace is not in their dictionaries
and neither is freedom
but we know what those words mean
they have taken our guns
so we use what we can
rocks are close to our feet
and cameras are in our pockets
sometimes we are silent
and sometimes we shout
but always the world can hear us
it hasn't come to our aid
will not?
or cannot?
we don't know
because we aren't allowed to know
we aren't allowed to question their authority either
but this is a law we can break
they may chain our bodies
but our minds are not yet broken
we walk for those who have fallen
for those who still refuse to give up
in memoriam of those
who have become our champions
our hearts may bleed
our bones may be shattered
but if I shall die it will be in the dust of
these streets
where my hope can find a new messiah
so we march
they shoot
but we will have freedom and peace
whichever comes first.
