Battle of the Beanfield

I thought I heard someone calling me
I've seen the pictures on TV
And I made up my mind that I'd go and see
With my own eyes

It didn't take too long to hitch a ride
With a guy going south to start a new life
Past the place where my friend died
Two years ago

Down the 303 at the end of the road
Flashing lights - exclusion zones
And it made me think it's not just the stones
That they're guarding, no

Hey hey, now, can't you see
There's nothing here that you could call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me

As the sun rose on the beanfield
They came like a wolf on the fold
And no they didn't give a warning
They took their bloody toll

I see a pregnant woman
Lying in blood of her own
I see her children crying
As the police tore apart their home

And no they didn't give a reason
It's what your votes condone
It seems they were committing treason
By trying to live on the road

And I said
Hey hey, now, can't you see
There's nothing here that you could call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me

Hey hey, now, can't you see
There's nothing here that you could call free
They're getting their kicks
They're laughing at you and me
