Exhibit B

Posted: August 24th, 2009 | Author: | Filed under: quote | Comments Off

History can never be made by one man we must smash this one quickly
History is made only by the masses of the people this is clear
Even a cursory glance at the falasfallacious presentation
of history by the American capitalist system will demonstrate just this

Take George Washington as bad as he is
Put him in the middle of Valley Forge by himself surrounded
by the British he can do nothing

Take Martin Luther King as righteous as he is
Put him in the middle of Birmingham by himself, speaking out against racism
He would be lynched

But you take this same King, you take this same Washington
Put them in Valley Forge, put them in Alabama
Surround them with thousands of people who have the same ideas they do
Willing to make those ideas reality and the situation changes drastically

Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
