Chris Alan Cox - The Last Protest We Found

Some of us brought coffee so we sip from paper cups
Some kids help out with blankets, it gets cold here after dusk
This place could be a fallout shelter for when the bombs go off
This park could be a brake line, bring the city to a stop
And we're not gonna stop

And we'll swear we've had enough
Cuz there's an anger in our gut
That we've felt for our whole lives
Never really quite knew why
But we could build something much better
First we've got to tear it down
It was the last protest we found

I saw the guys with ink done, arms done up like patchwork quilts
The huddled mass battalions, grasping cardboard at the hilt
I heard the marching footsteps, steady stepping like a beat
I saw policemen pepper spray three girls crouched in the street
And they weren't doing shit

And we'll swear we've had enough
Cuz there's an anger in our gut
That we've felt for our whole lives
Never really quite knew why
But we could build something much better
First we've got to tear it down
It was the last protest we found

And we'll swear we've had enough
Cuz there's an anger in our gut
That we've felt for our whole lives
Never really quite knew why
But we could build something much better
First we've got to tear it down
It was the last protest we found
