As tanks roll down the avenue
The protest grows across the nation
People want to know what they can do
Without triggering provocation
You know they want to call you names
For engaging your right to protest
Like traitors, cowards, you’re to blame
For an era of civil unrest
They’ll push you to the point of fear
For expressing how you feel
The breaking point is drawing near
The threat is growing real
Do not be here when night falls
The bulls come out at night
They’ll throw you up against the wall
And prod you til you fight
That is when they’ll strike you down
Your blood will fill the streets
They’ll tell the world they stood their ground
Their mission is complete
