Trial of the Chicago 7 Draft

Tears in a revolution Tear gas from the institution The judge doesn't know their names But the whole world was watching A panther put with the bunch Bound and gagged, with no lunch A political trail they said was never done They dressed as pigs, having fun A biased look on democracy Speak your peace, though peacefully The billy bats swang And heads were cracked Revolution is in the air Every movement tracked. So here we are What have we learnt? Adjourn the trail Let the panther free Racism is still alive in humanity...
