Lyrics
0:11In the arena the crowd is restless
0:15Tonight one time only 1500 white-collar
0:20Gun carrying club-bearing policemen
0:24The city's finest
0:26Will charge unarmed children mothers
0:29Crippled hippies freaks
0:31Professors and other peace marchers
0:35Never before have you been able to
0:37Witness so much cruelty
0:39Live and in color
0:41In the privacy of your own room
1:10Fa la
1:14Fa la
1:18Fa la
1:23Fa la
1:27Fa la
1:31Fa la
1:44Peaceful people
1:47Offering opinions
1:51Protesting what you sincerely know is wrong
1:56Be ready: you will probably be beaten
2:07You will probably be arrested and questioned
2:13Your beliefs will be twisted
2:17Your rights will be forgotten
2:20Be ready be ready
2:26You will probably be beaten
3:13Fa la
3:17Fa la
3:19Fa la
