Revolution Merit Badge - Peter Spencer
Come gather 'round people, and listen to me
I'll tell you a story of an armed robbery
It's an armed robbery, boys, the gunmen all say
They're fighting the system and that makes it okay
They killed three policemen who served us with pride
They preach liberation but three good men died
Three good men with families, three good men with sons
We paid them our money, they carried our guns
Now there is a woman who knows the whole crew
She knows where they're hiding, she knows what they'll do
But she wouldn't tell us, she wants her degree
To play "revolution" in the land of the free
Now people I ask you, do you think it's right?
To be the support of these cop-killers flight
Are these people heroes? Shall this be our cause?
You cannot free people by breaking their laws
