Ember Swift - Rubber Bullets lyrics
We are ready to fight We are ready to fight it all. We are ready to fight with our minds We are ready to fight with our words Let me ask you: Who is going to police the police? When they're shooting up the streets SHOOTING RUBBER BULLETS We are ready to fight FIGHT THEIR RUBBER BULLETS We are ready to fight. They are criminalizing protest And the evening news shows stories of the eleven "criminals" within a peaceful rally of five thousand voices There is no sign of the other four thousand nine hundred and eighty nine who lined up eager to be heard, exercising democratic choices In fact, they are ignored by cameras who film graffiti on the corporate bank And the caption reads: "vandals charged at protest today" And who, may I ask, have we to thank for this "incomprehensive" news footage? Well, it's not just the media because they are in bed with big business It's not just the government because they are led by corporate interests It's just a form of three-way incest! They are criminalizing protest they are smirking, they are smirking They are criminalizing protest and it is working.... Meanwhile, back at the protest the peaceful yet persistent majority With their placards and peace signs and petitions for their MPs just do not "have what it takes" to make for entertaining t.v. Besides, why be holistic, tell the truth or be unbiased When the tv-watching public doesn't question and stays quiet? And they rely on this apathy The misinformation is the key and it further justifies forms of police brutality. (Please don't be quiet, please don't be quiet) <Chorus> What are we to do? What do we do about this?-a |
