In the school they slept
Awoke by commotion outside

Into the school charged the police
Pools of blood and humiliation

93 people arrested
60 of which, straight to hospitals

Shattered bones and bloodied bodies
The terror continued once in holding

In unofficial holding cells
Victims of a G8 police state
"Who is your government?" (Italian police officer)
The captured respond "Polizia"

Goose-step lawmen
Global trade
Agreements made
Signed in blood.

Against dissent
Show no mercy
Squash resistance
Before it takes hold

In business suits they inflict violence
From conference rooms they command silence
In business suits they inflict violence
From conference rooms they command silence


NOTES:
This song is specifically about an incident that took place in Genoa, Italy during the July 2001 G8 meetings. Many are aware of the police killing Carlo Giuliani, but less are aware of the police attack on the independent media centre located inside Scolastico A Diaz on July 21, 2001.

A succinct summary of the incident and police impunity:
