Ten Thousand Years Lyrics by The Rebel Spell

Last Run

2014

I’ve read about brutality through history by agents of every form of state
I know that nothing’s changed and their roles and means are just the same
Do you really think we can fix this thing? It’s been tried again and again

10,000 years! Just the same! Until they burn, this won’t change!
Move! Move! Move! Push back or be knocked flat
Move! Move! Move! Or you’re just in the way
Move! Move! Move! If you keep loving our captors the future is just more murder and beatings

From ancient Greece to New Orleans armed sadists rule the street
Since the first of these legions walked there has always been a “few bad cops”
You think you see a helpful soul? I just see an enemy soldier

10,000 years! Just the same! Until they burn, this won’t change!
10,000 years! Inflicting pain! If they reform then burn again

Jeffrey Miller, Paul Boyd, Two unnamed dead in Winnipeg
Oscar Grant, Rodney Jackson, Ian Bush and Darren Varley
Sharpeville, Marikana, Kent State, not close enough?
Boom Boom Boom Guess who’s at your door?

“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face – forever” George Orwell
