Riot Folk! (Ryan Harvey) - When empire's collide video free download

http://www.riotfolk.org/

I feel resistance rising

In every bombed out home

In the schoolrooms, in the prisons,

In the markets, it has grown

Unleashed now like a pitbull

With teeth of diamond blades

Or the anger of a mother

Standing by her child's grave

It started as a protest, screams,

A billion falling tears

Now the buckets overflowing

With the rage of 40 years

Of tyranny, dictatorship,

Wars from every side

The poverty that power brings,

When empire's collide

I see children raising fists, guns,

A coffin raised up high

A family mourning loved ones

As another day goes by

I see a city full of refugees,

Another full of smoke

I hear screams of desperation

Where words we're often spoke

There's soldiers standing bravely

Some proud and some depressed

With guns and tanks and hand grenades

To put them to the test

Some fight like it's paradise

Some fight like it's hell

Some kill everyone in sight

Some just kill themselves

Now in the City center

There's a woman in the road

Her bloods drips on the concrete

As another bomb explodes

I see a statue of the dictator

Lying on it's side

With an American flag

Waving valiantly and high

It's a fucked up situation

It's fucked up what they do

They bred this war on terror

And the terrorism too

Their goal is global poverty

To create local wealth

Don't care about your families,

Your future or your health

I see business men in offices

Looking down upon the street

Where protests meet police lines

And protesters are beat

Youth with gut feelings shout

Dancers dance and and spin

While beside them homeless veterans

Wave a banner in the wind

The truth behind the wars fought

Not too far in our past

Have left scars upon participants

And misery that lasts

While the present day promoters

Use the same lies from before

To justify the horrors

And brutality of war

Across the seas of culture

Across the oceans and lands

All this horror is constructed

By the people in command

They are senators and presidents,

CEOs and Kings

Killing thoughtlessly and quickly

In a race to gain more things

They are folks like you and I

But they sold their lives to greed

Building weapons for destruction

At an ever growing speed

To imperialize the world

With free trade or with attack

They did it to the natives

Now the've done it to Iraq

So when I speak of the system

I mean the companies

And the governments and profiteers

Who've been spreading this disease

It's infected our hearts

And it's infected our minds

It's destroyed the world's forests

And it's destroying our lives

Rise up, good people

Take back your lives and land

Collectively your power

Outweighs the iron hand

You have inside your heart a strength

That not an army can contain

You've just gotta realize

That our struggles are the same!
