about

A March 3, 1968 COINTELPRO memo discussed the need to stop "the beginning of a true black revolution," and to "prevent the rise of a 'messiah' who could unify, and electrify, the militant black nationalist movement…

"The Negro youth and moderates must be made to understand that if they succumb to revolutionary teaching, they will be dead revolutionaries."

On December 4, 1969, Fred Hampton, an intelligent and effective young leader in the Black Panther Party, was shot while lying in his bed by a combined task force of city, county, state police and the FBI.

lyrics

the chi-town pigs
they came for Fred
they shot him down
dead in his bed
the chi-town pigs
they came for Fred
they shot him down
dead in his bed

it's a crime that makes me ill
proof that your government is willing to kill
raise your voice in the land of the free
everyone loves a revolutionary

the chi-town pigs
they came for Fred
they shot him down
dead in his bed
the chi-town pigs
they came for Fred
they shot him down
dead in his bed

it's a crime that makes me ill
proof that your government is willing to kill
raise your voice in the land of the free
everyone loves a revolutionary

fred hampton was murdered by the motherfuckin pigs
so were the brothers at attica and the kent state kids
when reagan gassed the people's park
do you think that old teflon did it on a lark
or do you think there was somethin ugly and mean
slinking in the underbelly sight unseen
could there be something sinister to the american dream?
i betcha fred hampton would know what I mean
