DOWN ON FREEDOM STREET The world now knows About that so dreadful day When the babies did they cry In the tearful month of May The pictures now show With thousand canister sounds When the young ones did they run In the tear gas of clouds But in the people’s march There will be no defeat Down there, down there, down there On freedom street As old ladies poison they inhale And claim you are sure to prevail And declare that they’re sure to fail Because you throw them all into jail With wild wolves all around And bullets in their eyes There is no reason to be found As you’re deaf to all their cries But in the people’s march There will be no defeat Down there, down there, down there On freedom street As you send in more police To crack open young women’s heads Still more water cannons you spray And plow down their park beds As you close down Taksim Square In hopes of spreading your fame Telling everyone that they just need to play fair All this is your shame as you dismiss all your blame But in the people’s march There will be no defeat Down there, down there, down there On freedom street (Andrew Jackson; June 29, 2013)
