Let’s not call ‘em protesters If they’re burning and They’re looting Let’s not call them protester If they’re breaking glass windows And shooting Let’s call them what they are Just blatant opportunists
Let’s not call them protesters Which is not to suggest That it wouldn’t be proper to Call them insurrectionists Let’s not get confused As to what it is we’re seeing When we observe them Throwing objects while they’re fleeing
Let’s not call them protesters Even when the cause is just Because those hooligans Don’t represent any of us Let’s not call ‘em protester When they’re stoking public fears Let’s call them what they are Simply put provocateurs
Let’s not call ‘em protesters When they disregard the law Let’s not call them protesters Who are openly declaring war Against the established order Just to even a score Let’s not call ‘em protesters We never did before
