Making History

(This is a song about the ever-growing international movement against corporate globalization and capitalism that was born on the streets of Seattle and has continued in every corner of the globe. From the fights against hydro privatization in South Africa, the G8 in Kananaskis, incredible uprisings in Argentina and demonstrations in Seville, to name but a few, it is clear that the movement is growing stronger. We are still winning! We will make a different history - our history!)

Fires are burning, wheels are turning, there’s a new sense in the air

With everything to live for and only chains to lose, I hope you’ll join me there

People are finding their power, people are raising their voice

If you want to find me come follow the noise, to fight back’s no longer a choice

If you want to find me I’ll be sleeping on the streets of Seattle

Washington’s calling my name

Police force in Prague cannot push us back now

Things are never going to be the same

We’re making history, yeah you and me

Everybody’s confidence is growing

People are opening their eyes

We’re learning that a better world is possible

Time to take back control of our lives

If you want to find me I’ll b sleeping on the streets of Seattle

Washington’s calling my name

Tear gas in Quebec can not choke a movement

Things are never going to be the same

We’re making history, yeah you and me

I’m making a list, of everything we’re out to resist

When this battle is won and our freedom’s begun

None of this shit will exist

Long line ups for welfare cheques, peacekeeping weapons of war

Anorexic Disney girls, McDonalds makes me want to hurl

And sweatshops where everyone’s poor, well, except the CEO’s of course

But I could go on forever

I’ll let you use your imagination, of whose ass you’d like to kick first

If you want to find me I’ll be screaming on the streets of Seattle,

Washington is calling my name

Body bags in Genoa can not intimidate a movement

Things are never going to be the same

We’re making history, won’t you come join me

We’re making history, yeah you and me
