No matter what country, no matter what year We we're always pursued with the weapon of fear They came by the night, they came by the day Came with their guns to take us away [ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e59957-ryan_harvey~knock_on_the_door_lyrics.html ] With a knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more.
At Homestead, Missoula and Haymarket Square The cops and the soldiers we're armed and prepared The movements we're broken, the strikes beaten down The strike leaders woke to that terrible sound
That old knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more.
In the Oakland, Chicago and New York slums They watched and they waited and loaded their guns The Panthers we're murdered or locked-up and framed With bullets or gavels, it started the same
With a knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more.
Some came seeking jobs, some came seeking homes Some died in the mountains, some died on the road Over the border, some made it alive To live with the fear that that day might arrive
That old knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more.
In Tucson and Oregon, the tactic prevails With the Joint-Terror Task Force's federal jails Who will be next? Our eyes look around Searching their ranks for that sight and that sound
That old knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more.
They came under Wilson, Hitler and Mao Hussein and Suharto, and they're coming now And they may come for me before the night's through Just know that tomorrow they'll come back for you
With their knock on the door, knock on the door Here they come to take one more, one more.
