[00:04.497] Why must we riot?
[00:06.497] Why must we protest
[00:08.727] Just to be heard by the world?
[00:31.690] Seattle was a riot
[00:33.707] They tried to pin on us
[00:35.702] But we didn't show up
[00:37.692] With gas and billy clubs
[00:39.696] An un-armed mass of thousands
[00:41.433] Just trying to be heard
[00:43.688] But there are no world leaders
[00:45.683] That want to hear our words
[00:47.674] Ohhh
[00:49.695] Why must we riot?
[00:51.439] Why must we protest
[00:53.192] Just to be heard by the world?
[00:57.421] Why must we riot?
[00:59.445] Why must we protest
[01:01.429] Just to be heard by the world?
[01:13.671] The World Bank's greed and lies
[01:15.674] Digs graves in 3rd-world lands
[01:17.709] And fills them with the remains
[01:19.685] Of exploited workers
[01:21.682] Or displaced native peoples
[01:23.679] Or destroyed ecosystems
[01:25.680] Under the guise of progress
[01:27.693] Relief, and tech assistance
[01:30.059] Ohhh
[01:31.555] Why must we riot?
[01:33.304] Why must we protest
[01:35.303] Just to be heard by the world?
[01:39.537] Why must we riot?
[01:41.294] Why must we protest
[01:43.286] Just to be heard by the world?
[01:48.052] Since the dawn of history
[01:49.802] The few who own control
[01:52.288] Have bent and rewrote history
[01:54.545] How they want it to go
[01:57.061] They try to control what we learn
[01:59.321] And take away our rights
[02:01.662] 'Cause when the masses round the world unite
[02:03.918] That's a force they cannot fight
[02:09.414] Cannot fight
[02:14.165] We'll fight for our
[02:16.163] We'll fight for our
[02:17.918] We'll fight for our
[02:19.915] We'll fight for our
[02:21.913] Rights!
[02:23.655] Why must we riot?
[02:25.666] Why must we protest
[02:27.668] Just to be heard by the world?
[02:31.421] Why must we riot?
[02:33.659] Why must we protest
[02:35.183] Just to be heard by the world?
[02:49.405] Sitting in what was designated the "Cooperation Zone" by Seattle Police Sergeant Richard Goldstein
[02:55.657] They sat heads bowed
[02:57.410] Listening as the police methodically shot pepper spray
[03:00.917] One eye at a time
[03:02.677] Into the eyes of their passive brothers and sisters
[03:05.414] Whore-like police
[03:06.897] Playing judge, jury, and executioner for their pimp-like bosses in the World Bank
[03:12.668] And W.T.O
[03:14.163] This is not justice. This is not the role of
[03:17.663] The Servants of the People
[03:18.913] Such tyranny brings ruling classes crashing to the ground and contemporary societies to an end
