paroles de chanson In The Arena - The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band

In the arena the crowd is restless
Tonight, one time only, 1500 white-collar
Gun carrying, club-bearing policemen,
The city's finest, will charge unarmed children, mothers,
Crippled, hippies, freaks, professors and other peace marchers
Never before have you been able to witness so much cruelty,
Live and in color,
In the privacy of your own room.

Fa-la-la-la-la

Peaceful people
Offering opinions
Protesting what you sincerely know is wrong
Be ready: you will probably be beaten
You will probably be arrested and questioned
Your beliefs will be twisted
Your rights will be forgotten
Be ready, be ready
You will probably be beaten

Fa-la-la-la-la

In the arena, next week, in person,
Due to popular demand,
Negro looters of all ages will be shot
Come early for the best seats
Come early, for the good times start at 2pm

Fa-la-la-la-la
