    and so the time has finally come
    the bourgeosie has signed the war decree with proletarat blood
    and that blood which flows from their pen
    is the closest that they've ever been to the people
    you've been to our shows
    you've sung our songs
    now we're asking you to add to each chorus you've sung and
    protest, against, injustice, state terror
    on the streets of the world
    for the disempowered
    you've sung at our shows
    cheered right over wrong
    now it's time to hit the streets
    back up those words you've sung
    because our voices alone this time will not get it done
    looking to stop a rogue regime?
    well the first ones that we must confront is WASHINGTON, DC!
    the bush "terror war", UNCONSTITUTIONAL, UNCONSCIENABLE
    we refuse to let him kill, in our name for oil
    we know their game
    know they're corrupt
    it's up to us to hit the streets,time to take our rights back!
    protest, against, injustice, state terror
    on the streets of the world
    for the disempowered
    you've sung at our shows
    cheer ed right over wrong
    now it's time to hit the streets
    back up those words you've sung
    because our voices alone this time will not get it done
    because the people, united will get it done
    protest, against injustice, state terror
    on the streets of the world for the disempowered [x4]

    Do you knwo who sings it? I do, they are great.

    Rockin' In The Free World by Neil Young is another great one.

    SYSTEM OF A DOWN

    TEMPER


    We want peace without
    Patriot missiles,
    Blown to bits are civilian targets,
    Parade! Laugh! Rejoice! Sing!
    We are the victors of...nothing,
    Spend more money on a war,
    Your people starving, turned to whores,
    Slaves of the chosen one paying millions for each bomb,


    Freedom cried the marching man,
    Flags ripped out of their black hands ,
    Beaten! Slain! Tortured! Killed!
    Their only mistake was being born here ,
    Invade countries just for oil ,
    Send your troops all down to boil ,
    Iraq! Grenada! Nam and Chile!
    Truman doctrine our own way ,



    The Government here can suck my balls ,
    Policing the world in overalls ,
    Armed rebellion minority ,
    Disrespected race, colored mind ,
    Crazed loonies all walk the streets ,
    Missing children on milk cartons ,
    Mother selling child for crack ,
    Mr. President check you back


    Country without a race ,
    Formed from people you disgrace,
    White right conservative might ,
    Killers of Kennedy's with no fright ,
    The American way!
    The American way!
    The American way!
