.
you are a student of law
your family's well off
.

            .
            you've read some books
            and maybe saw a few docs
            you follow Paul Mason on twitter
            young and anxious so
            .

                        .
                        they caught you one time
                        a cop did a cavity search
                        illegally, while his friends watched
                        you've inhaled your share of their teargas
                        and saw your friends' limbs get smashed
                        .

                                    .
                                    your voice is most loud
                                    in an aggrieved crowd
                                    .

                        .
                        when the rage explodes
                        will you be there, next time?
                        you still believe, but for how long?
                        i think i was never a believer...
                        .

            .
            no, i don't doubt you
            not a bit. well...
            but you can always go back
            to the career you came from
            some of us cannot
            .

.
"la beauté est dans la rue"
not always. but yeah, i know.
here's another one, from me:
"la vie est ailleurs"
.

            .
            this fervor will end, i know it
            then, i will still walk here
            then, you will walk elsewhere
            this evening, though
            we 'll march with you
            .
