This song was created by an anonymous songsmith who has requested that I put it on the site for tonight's protest

If you go down to the streets today, you’re in for a big surprise
If you go down to the streets today, you just won’t believe your eyes
The Samba Bands, the dancing crowd, the people happy, the music’s loud
And that’s the way the RTS have a picnic!

If you were down on Dame Street that day
You’d better be quick to run.
When batons flew on dame street that day, brutality had begun,
The numbers gone, there’s no more fun, our busted headsAnd that’s the way to ruin our friendly picnic

If you are in Templemore today, you better not close your mind.
It’s up to you to have your say the role should be defined,
To keep the peace enforce the laws, not batter people without just cause

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO CONDUCT A PEACEFUL PICNIC!
