Lyrics
You can load us in your buses And behind your prison door And when you think you've silenced us There will be a thousand more (chorus) We are gathered here today To put our bodies in harm's way At this school of death and shame No more murder in our name From Panama to Georgia We'll be ever in your sight With so much blood upon your hands How do you butchers sleep at night? (chorus) You dare to call them freedom fighters Call the butchers what you will But from Jara to Allende It is freedom that you kill (chorus) People want land and justice And they answer freedom's call If you try to feed your people bullets Someday soon you all will fall (chorus) All across this country The news spreads from town to town Every day a new voice shouting Shut this school torture down (chorus) (chorus) ---- Created December, 1998 Copyright David Rovics 1998, all rights reserved
