This is What Democracy Looks Like

(A song about OUR version of democracy and the strength of the Teamster Turtle Alliance as a force to create the better world that we know is possible)

Now we’re raging on the front lines, 50,000 strong this time

We’ve got a world to win

Struggled our whole lives against this

It’s the fight we wouldn’t dream of missing

So get off your feet and hit the streets, its time to begin

This is what democracy looks like

This is what democracy feels like

Now they hide behind their barricades, uniforms and pepper spray

We know we got them scared

They hide behind the walls they made, but no fence can keep away our anger

And by any means we’re gonna make them hear us today

This is what democracy looks like

We’re gonna show them what democracy feels like

If you’d open up your eyes, then you’d see why we’re fighting

But you hide behind your lies, we’re gonna have to make you listen

Now IMF and WTO, you’ll find us everywhere you go

This is a promise we’ve made

SAPs and FTAA, we’re not gonna live that way

You can fuck your fence, your tear gas and your pepper spray

Cause they’re not what democracry looks like

We’re gonna show you what democracry looks like

If you’d open up your eyes, then you’d see why we’re fighting

But you hide behind your lies, we’re gonna have to make you listen

Now we're energized, electrified, found our power sis-by-side

So-so-solidarite dans la rue

Turtle kids and working class, together we can kick their asses

When we're fighting unified, there's no way we can lose

This is what democracy looks like

This is what democracy feels like

We're gonna show them what democracy looks like

This is what democracy feels like
