Track 8: "We Shut It Down"

We Shut It Down

Democracy beat the Beast
Victory in Seattle
Democracy beat the Beast
Power in the streets
Democracy won the day
Power to the People
Democracy got its say
The People got their way
They shut it down!

Democracy took the day
In the Battle of Seattle
Democracy had its way
Power in the streets
The People got their say
Power to the People
The People got their way
The People shut it down—
They shut it down!

Young and old folks linking arms
With a hope in their eyes,
They won’t compromise our future.
People taking back their streets—
A democracy revived
That was barely alive for two hundred years.

Yes, my heart’s on fire,
I can feel the burning within,
And my soul’s desire
Is to see justice begin.
There is no denying
That the world’s a bigger place,
But I can’t help thinking
We need more love for this human race.

Democracy beat the Beast …
