battle for seattle

eyes water and burn as the mob meets resistance
just a vast assortment of desperation
we've been backed into a corner
so we're turning vicious
you shouldve seen the signs
you knew it was coming to this
we had all the ingredients for riot
and in turn police brutality
instigators.
anonymity.
scapegoats.
trash cans and flaming dumpsters fill the streets
just like the economical cars that once did
everyone using anything as a weapon
but few muscle through the pepper spray and tear gas
those who do are beaten to death
the life of an outcast
the death of a martyr
middle class workers pitted against middle class cops
