Murder At The G-8 Summit Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

Shots fired by hired thugs 

Public servants don't murder and maim 

Hiding behind their double standards 

targeting the victim with bullets and blame 

Providing a wall of defense for dictators and tyrants 

Shielding them from accountability, concern and complaints 

Showing zero tolerance and lacking restraint 

Combating defiance with violence 

All while they decide our fates 

Create a story from an 'impartial' and 'reliable' source 

One that sanctions and justifies force 

And allows those responsible to parade their remorse 

While the corpse is further desecrated 

Another terror tactic the police implement 

Resentment shown to those who oppose and hold this whole charade in contempt 

When police over reaction is caught by the cameras 

The world watches to see what happens next 

The politicians protect and defend those responsible 

For needlessly gunning down or beating a person to death 

This gross abuse of power sets the example for violence 

And rejects the ideals of tolerance and respect 

So will their continuing assaults result in more violence? 

What else could they possibly expect? 

Now that they've set the precedence 

For brutality towards activists and excusing police actions 

All other cities can increase their efforts 

To stifle the message and stamp out reaction 

What happened to our right to assemble? 

This resembles the tactics the fascists enacted 

To insure that no one listens while they lock us in prisons 

And everyone's civil and human rights are retracted
