In a thousand years,
They will say we did it.
But our dead will say otherwise
The few who stood up.
To the pepper spray
Water cannons
And concussion grenades.
The few of us who fought
The ones who died
Will say that not all
Went along with
Ceaseless destruction.
Not all entrepreneurs
Fought change
Not all entrepreneurs
Used power of the government
To undermine the tribe
To undermine the people.
Not all people sat
And watched their rights disappear
Not all watched
The Earth heat up
Shrivel up and die.
Not all of us sat out
But we were outgunned
We were outspent
They looked upon us
Through visors of hate
Corporate geed funded money
They looked upon us with disdain
As we fought for their sake
As much as we had fought for ours.
Tomorrow will come soon,
When they realize that we are all
Inside one sinking boat.
When they see that
Their lot is our lot.
But we will have the benefit
Of a clear conscience.
They will have to tell their children
That they pawned their future.
Because we fought to save
The only earth we have
As they stood up for greed
And killed those who stood up
Destroying our collective planet
For a short term profit.
