The body rock stopped, probably got caught by the cops Nearby, somebody got shot But parties don't stop and the parties don't care It's a stick-up, it's why we got our hands in the air
Still demanding a share, refrigerators bare 'Cause they wanna see trade get free and not fair But we are not blind, we are not there We don't got time left to spare to not care
On the last day of November, swellin' in ranks Went to chant down the mighty IMF and World Bank A gathering of people in peaceful assembly Onward to Westlake to disrupt the entry
Walk along steady, riot squad ready To protect every last dignitary's ass But this started when they herded us like cattle in a fence Protesters gettin' restless without an exit
They threatened to arrest us, we pushed back and then A hail of rubber bullets hit teens and old men I admit, had to split when the first gas canisters hit Felt it burn in my eyes, nose, and lips
They tried to blame it on the anarchists, garbage I was there, I'll tell you right now the pigs started it But they distort it in the news Talkin' bout stompin' down Niketown wearing their shoes
But the body rock stopped, probably got caught by the cops Nearby, somebody got shot But the parties don't stop and the parties don't care It's a stick-up, it's why we got our hands in the air
50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets 50,000 deep, 50,000 deep
Yeah, now, the body rock stopped, probably got caught by the cops Nearby, somebody got shot But parties don't stop in the south So take your shoes off when you come into my house
I had to duck out 'cause I knew I stuck out in the crowd After many years growin' up brown in this town Now this is what democracy looks like Not what you all had in mind for tonight
Mr. Mayor, shell-shocked for 5 days straight Press conference, lookin' constipated and pale Tossed a homie in jail, wasn't even protesting Wrong place, wrong time, learned a quick lesson
But this is not a question what we did to deserve this Rich kids went and got arrested on purpose But was it worth it? My first inclination Globalization is the root of the pain
Made the reason that they left and the reason that we came Catch my breath, blood pulsates my brain And they called it a riot? Huh, I call it an uprising
And they call this a riot? But nah, I call it a uprising And they call this a riot? Nah man, fuck that I'm a call it a uprising
50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets, yo 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets, come on y'all 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets, yeah 50,000 deep, and it sound like thunder when our feet pound streets
