"What's your name? where you live?
Where you from, who's your friends?
What's your beliefs? What group you in?
Are you an anarchist? How long you been?
Where's your meeting? What time is that?
What day's the rally? Where's it at?
How big's your group? Who's part of it?
What's your stance on violence?"
COINTELPRO
They've been watching from the street out front
Where the unmarked car is parked
They've been calling on the phone at night
Snooping around in the dark
They've been talking to your parents at work
Making sure they're overheard
They've been talking to your neighborhood
Making sure they hear the word
COINTELPRO
They've been knocking on the door in the morning
When the sun ain't even rose
They've been watching where you go each day
Following you close
They've been listening on the line
They'll remember what you've said
They've been looking on your website
Showing up at your events
COINTELPRO
They've been taking notes on your conversations
Remembering names and dates
They've been watching who you talk to
With whom you associate
They're ear is open to all you do
They're on your email list
They're collecting all your posters
Taking your finger prints
COINTELPRO
Things ain't been the same
Since they started coming around
Seems like if you look the other way
They'll come and take you down
They're paid to make you feel this way
To keep you on your knees
They sow the seed of paranoia
And it spreads like a disease
COINTELPRO
This ain't the 1960's
It's 2006
And the Feds are back with the same old badge
And a brand new bag of tricks
They've got a long bloody history
Of ruining people's lives
You gotta keep on keeping on
Stand strong and organize
They've got guns and jails and a budget
They'll string you out on fear
But you've got the strength of numbers
That's why they are here
That's how it's gone before
When their threats start coming through
It means you're work is successful
And they're scared of you
COINTELPRO
Where you from, who's your friends?
What's your beliefs? What group you in?
Are you an anarchist? How long you been?
Where's your meeting? What time is that?
What day's the rally? Where's it at?
How big's your group? Who's part of it?
What's your stance on violence?"
