Worldwide Protest Pictures/ Empires fall when the people rise up

Edito Demos-Actions Wars and conflicts International USA

In this treacherous system the media manipulates
Spreadin misinformation, through all 50 states

Innovate past hate, kick back contemplate
metal minds manufacture a fractured debate
see my enemies’ enemy Is still my enemy
But fools blunt their own vision television Hennessey
can’t see what’s comin, too lost in the spectacle
But a child is more then a bullets receptacle

While we’re “nonviolent” in the streets screaming peace
Bush is bombing babies throughout the middle east
Soon as Sadaam is gone they’ll prop up another puppet
Put the game on repeat, no protest could stop it

time to take it to the next level Up the ante
Watchin Powel and Rice is like Amos and Andy
Money Bleaches but poverty stains
poor black, white, brown all wear the same chains

it’s the rich worldwide holding the reins
and they networked together like a massive mainframe
I’m finna pull the plug Build an army out of “thugs”

Run up on ‘em in the night and light this shit up
Cuz the great are only great, cuz we’re on our knees
and when we stand up, the whole world’ll freeze!

empires fall when the people rise up
how many folks gotta die before we wise up?
getting burned we gotta learn to stand the fuck up
The whole worlds gonna change, soon as we stand up!

Now everybody in the audience put ya fists up
If your ready to make a change and fuck the system up
All a ya’ll against the wall, you better raise it up
Lightin fires in your mind, that’s how we blaze it up

200 billion dollars spent on a war for oil
uranium bullets poison water and soil
killin’ everything that moves in the whole vicinity
tryna impose freedom, like fucking for virginity

to the people of Iraq, invasion ain’t liberty
it’s just another attack on their sovereignty
and self determination, like native reservations
sellin’ off the wealth to these giant corporations
while the world looks on, there’s a slaughter in the making
the rich get richer and the poor face starvation
we facin’ a choice, a line in the sand
between a world revolution or war without end

    Beautiful World

    It’s a beautiful world that we’re livin in givin in
    melodies wash my fear into oblivion
    Reachin for the stars to swallow the sun
    Every second every day a new life’s begun
    We’re spun like threads in the hands of fate
    meditate, contemplate, many minds relate
    To the pictures I paint, like writing on the wall
    A warrior in the struggle, standin proud and tall
    I let it fall like raindrops, to swallow the ocean
    It’s not an illusion or a magic potion
    a child is hope and joy infinite
    should be treated with love, ‘cause they’re givin it
    all every day, never holdin back
    and I’m doin my best to try and live like that
    it’s the tao, the way, from night to day
    god exists in the self, so there’s no need to pray
    when I focus inside I see a sky full of stars
    so many worlds in rotation, I can’t tell which is ours
    but yo I can’t leave the struggle for my people behind me
    so when the revolution comes, you know where to find me

    it’s the wind on the water and the stars at midnight
    on a mountaintop far away from city lights
    it’s long-lost love, and hope for tomorrow
    it’s the path out beyond this life’s endless sorrow
    sinkin roots in the earth, hands reaching for the sky
    And it doesn’t really matter if I live or die
    I was born in the storm, from the eye of hurricane
    ‘cuz everything changes, but it still stays the same
