Summer Of Protest
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This is the summer of protest
That they can never diffuse
Force is the language they understand
And force we will use
And force we will use
And force we will...
Use!
This is the summer of protest
Of every dollar that kills
Run straight for the underground
Run straight for the hills
Run straight for the hills
Run straight for the...
Hills!
This is the summer protest
Gotta get outta school
Start up a revolution
Revolution for fools
Revolution for fools
Revolution for...
Fools!
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution!
Revolution!
