about

This song is dedicated to the work of Gene Sharp and to the millions around the world who risk their lives to promote democracy.

lyrics

December 17, 2010, Bouazizi makes a sacrifice for man
This was the start of the Arab Spring, and the first autocrat gone was Ben Ali.
"From Dictatorship to Democracy" - Gene Sharp will tell you all about it friends!
Would you surmise that Tunisian skies were a sight to see that Arab Spring?

There will be those who stand only to oppose the indelible will of a people to live free.
We don't need their contra-wars or their New World Order. We have our own plans for democracy!
We will Occupy the hearts and minds with Truth, Justice and Transparency.

The people of Egypt then took to the streets to rally against Mubarak's brutal regime.
Less than a month had gone when the chants had turned into song and a calm had come to Tahrir peacefully.
"From Dictatorship to Democracy" - Gene Sharp will tell you all about it friends!
Would you surmise that Egyptian skies were a sight to see that Arab Spring?

Ferguson, MO is a small town outside of St. Louis.

It also happens to be a very special place to me.

So special, in fact, that I named my band after it.
