In The Arena lyrics

In the arena the crowd is restless Tonight, one time only, 1500 white-collar Gun carrying, club-bearing policemen The city's finest, will charge unarmed children, mothers Crippled, hippies, freaks, professors and other peace marchers Never before have you been able to witness so much cruelty Live and in color In the privacy of your own room Peaceful people Offering opinions Protesting what you sincerely know is wrong Be ready, you will probably be beaten You will probably be arrested and questioned Your beliefs will be twisted Your rights will be forgotten Be ready, be ready You will probably be beaten In the arena, next week, in person Due to popular demand Negro looters of all ages will be shot Come early for the best seats Come early, for the good times start at 2PM
