Humanifesto - Make It Stop lyrics

March 15th 2002: Montrealers rallying against police brutality<br />

Are struck down by riot forces, beaten and accused of crimes<br />

For protesting the true offenders<br />

<br />

Everyone put down your guns, use your brain, stop the pain<br />

We have to fight for what is right. We'll make it stop, fuck the cops<br />

<br />

They claim they're just doing their job as they push your face against the wall<br />

They think that they're above the laws that they enforce, they've gone too far<br />

Cuffing kids for riding skateboards, kissing the ass of the corporate whores<br />

"To serve and protect" the interests of the people wearing the diamond gloves<br />

<br />

Forget about the average person, forget about the lives you're hurting<br />

Arrest the people stealing to survive, ignore the ones committing real crimes<br />

<br />

But this oppression doesn't end with cops, you can follow it right up to the top<br />

Hoover set up COINTELPRO to kill opposition<br />

(Especially in the black community) to the system<br />

Locked away the Angola 3 and Mumia<br />

Put away for almost thirty years and they're still there<br />

Not a single shred of evidence to keep them behind bars, <br />

No state officials trying to find out who the real killers are<br />

They're happy cuz they've made an example with innocent ones<br />

<br />

Keep America dumb
