'61 Chicago ushered in a new age,

We brought the war home with the days of rage,

Em                                     
In Seattle we chased out the World Trade Organization,
Em
On Mayday we gave Winston Churchill a mohican,
Em
Kept the water for the people in Cochabamba,
Em
Demanded autonomy on the dawn of NAFTA,
Em
So send in the clowns, someone send in the clowns,
Em
The black bloc, the antiFA and the undergrounds,
Em
A big, pink, marching samba band,
Em
And we'll take our own route that ain't pre-planned,

Am
From the social centres and the Brighton Schnews,
C    B
From Indymedia reporting our own news,

You can hear us shout ?The streets are ours!?
