Poets of Protest
The poets who still had some hope formed a movement
Provoking free progress and no one could stop them
Fighting with nothing, but words as their weapons
They saw walls as their papers and cans as their pencils
The streets became part of a beautiful poem of resistance
We, the brave will not leave the square, we are patient
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
We bite off the hand of the finger we've been offered
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
The poets of protest won't be forgotten
And Robin Hood starts laughing
We stood on the rooftop where everything's started
Watching the leaders begging to stop it
The outcome much better than we had expected
The houses rebuilt and the bridges repaired
The system renewed the reward for a life in despair
We stood together as one and smelled spring in the air
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
We bite off the hand of the finger we've been offered
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
The poets of protest won't be forgotten
And Robin Hood starts laughing
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
We bite off the hand of the finger we've been offered
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
The poets of protest won't be forgotten
And Robin Hood starts laughing
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh
We came, we saw, we conquered
We saw the fall of the king and the rise of the fuck ups
Came, saw, conquered
It was about what we needed and not what we wanted
We came, we saw, we conquered
We saw the fall of the king and the rise of the fuck ups
Came, saw, conquered
It was about what we needed and not what we wanted
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Provoking free progress and no one could stop them

The streets became part of a beautiful poem of resistance
We, the brave will not leave the square, we are patient
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
We bite off the hand of the finger we've been offered
We came, we saw, we conquered, oh
The poets of protest won't be forgotten

We stood on the rooftop where everything's started

We came, we saw, we conquered
We saw the fall of the king and the rise of the fuck ups

It was about what we needed and not what we wanted
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
