The Protest Movement

from Sanity by The Songs of Tom Smith

/

lyrics

Vietnamese, blacks and poor, dying and beaten on the floor
Bobby Kennedy, Luther King, you cannot ignore it
Taking over universities, living out our fantasies
Poking their tongues, out at the Lawman

pre-CHORUS
Call it the Protest Movement
Our actions count
(On TV) Call it the Protest Movement
(Started having my doubts)

You could barely touch us, there were no repercussions
TV blared out in the open ward
All we had to lose one morning in seclusion
Identifying with the cause

Pre CHORUS
CHORUS
On the Psych Ward they just call it
They just call it acting out
(On TV) Call it the Protest Movement
On the Psych Ward they just call it…acting out

Bobby Seales the Black Panther in a court room bound and gagged
Tied him up in chains, just like a slave
Like my shock treatment without credibility
I realised how the rules would never change
