»Summer o' 2007«»What Shall We Write About?«
What shall we write about?
They wrote about their struggle
And they were called protesters
They protested against injustice
And they were called terrorists
They terrorized the old regime
Firing with their pens
And they won the struggle.
What shall we write about?
Aluta continuam!
We shall write about our struggle
We shall protest the inequality
We shall protest against capitalism
We shall terrorize the new regime
We shall fire and fire
Until inequality is no more;
We shall clamor and clamor
Until they listen
As others listened.
What shall we write about?
We shall write about neo-struggle.
They wrote about their struggle
And they were called protesters
They protested against injustice
And they were called terrorists
They terrorized the old regime
Firing with their pens
And they won the struggle.
What shall we write about?
Aluta continuam!
We shall write about our struggle
We shall protest the inequality
We shall protest against capitalism
We shall terrorize the new regime
We shall fire and fire
Until inequality is no more;
We shall clamor and clamor
Until they listen
As others listened.
What shall we write about?
We shall write about neo-struggle.
