On Pimental Island
\nthe indigenous sat
\nan occupation
\nIs where they are at
\nthe construction site
\na new blockade
\na peaceful encampment
\ntheir presence laid<\/p>\n
keys and trucks
\nlay idle there
\nconstructions ceased
\nmost are aware
\nthe consortium
\nwho now build the dam
\nignore the impact and
\njust slam<\/p>\n
those first people
\nwho live and play
\non the Xingu River
\nday after day
\nThe big bend suffers
\nwater power
\nand the people
\nsuffer every hour<\/p>\n
NESA used evictions. but
\na local judge said it wasn’t cut
\nand dried FUNAI will come
\nand they
\nhope to bang their drum and say
\nthe authorities are on the case
\na crackdown soon
\non those who grace<\/p>\n
the island by the coffer dam
\nwhere of course in spirit
\nnow I am
\nElectronorte wants the activists
\narrested and have issued lists
\nof names, this is the way it goes
\nBelo Monte, yes it knows<\/p>\n
The common good
\nthe indigenous rights
\nup against the corporate
\nshites
\nthe law, the aggression
\nthe possession of land
\nthey exert their power
\nIts all be planned<\/p>\n
To stop the protest
\nand of course, we know
\nwe see Brazil
\nhijaCKED, and so
\nTHE CORPORATE mobsters
\ntake over the site
\nand that is the end
\nof what was right<\/p>\n
The indigenous people
\nmean nothing at all
\nBrazil will pass
\na brand new rule
\nand the corporates
\nwill take the land
\nWhich very few
\ncan understand<\/p>\n
Amazon Watch is by their side
\nGiving support
\nbut who dares hide
\nthe factor
\nthat the corporate class
\nhave got a needle
\nup their arse
\nindigenous people far and wide
\ncan battle long and hard
\nbut they’ll ride
\nroughshod over
\nthe innocent soul
\nbecause they want
\ncomplete control<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
