.
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
.
