You can dub me "stupid"
|
and you can tag me "dumb"
|
but when our tear soaked eyes were washed away
|
the truth was still as thick as it comes.
|
How can I be proud of a country
|
that trades democracy in for a fence
|
and six thousand cops, our "nation's finest,"
|
rob me of the little freedom I thought I had left.
|
You can believe what the headlines read
|
and every corporate funded news anchors you see on TV.
|
But the fact still remains I was there that day
|
to witness so many people simply wanting a say.
|
After all, their royal treatment and pepper spray
|
stripped a piece off my pay.
|
What are we fighting for? you ask.
|
We were fighting for you.
|
Armed with nothing but the idea
|
of putting people before profit and business,
|
the interest of the rich elite.
