Anna Is a Stool Pigeon Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Eric, Ren and Jenson were activists
Heads loaded with theory, their hearts are filled with passion
Shared the same left wing politics
Liked the same music, they were part of the protest movement

[Verse 2]
And Anna presented herself as a feminist
Studied the way they talked and dressed, fashioned herself an anarchist
Eric fell in love with Anna at the meeting on CrimethInc conference
He didn't know it, but Anna was an FBI informant

[Chorus]
Eric fell in love with an FBI informant
Shared his dreams of revolution
Now he's sitting in solitary confinement
Be careful what you think, be careful what you say
Might be used against you in court one day
Now Anna thinks she's a hawk
She's just a fucking snitch

[Verse 3]
The headline called them "The Believers"
And comparisons were made to a terrorist organization
Well, Anna had the car, Anna paid the rent
Anna helped find the recipe to make the explosives

[Verse 4]
She encouraged her friends to follow through with their plan
They were gonna build a bomb and blow up the Nimbus dam
The conversations were being recorded
They didn't know it, but Anna was an FBI informant

[Chorus]
Eric fell in love with an FBI informant
Shared his dreams of revolution
Now he's sitting in solitary confinement
Be careful what you think, be careful what you say
Might be used against you in court one day
Now Anna thinks she's a hawk
She's just a fucking snitch

[Verse 5]
Black Suburbans and AR-15 rifles
Agents made their arrests in a K-Mart parking lot
Caught with the supplies for the bomb in hand
The three were charged with conspiracy against the government

[Verse 6]
Ren and Jenson traded testimony in exchange for leniency
Eric was sentenced to twenty years in a penitentiary
Eric, Ren and Jenson were activists
They didn't know it, but Anna was an FBI informant

[Chorus]
Eric fell in love with an FBI informant
Shared his dreams of revolution
Now he's sitting in solitary confinement
Be careful what you think, be careful what you say
Might be used against you in court one day
Now Anna thinks she's a hawk
She's just a fucking snitch
