[Intro: New reporter]
2
Philippines media groups may ask the U.N. to intervene in the investigation of the massacre of 57 people. About 30 local journalists were among those shot and cut to death on a hillside off a major highway. Suspected is a clan feud on the southern island of Mindanao last week. The journalists were accompanying women from a local clan on their way to an election office. When about a hundred armed men attacked their convoy

[Verse One]
4
Early morning in a caravan of minivans
5
It's history in the making, new election
6
And in this part of the Philippians, elections been rigged
7
So when the opportunity came to document I was in
8
A camera, a notebook and a pen
9
These journalism tools we use to write how it is
10
In Mindanao the Ampatuan family been in power
11
And the last president guaranteed that he'll succeed
12
The governor's see we'll have the same family name
13
Mangundadatu remove the head to bring the province some change
14
We headed to the city, they'll bare witness to a chance
15
For another man to throw his family name in the hat
16
Opposition on the ballot Esmael hear the challenge
17
And his wife invited all us media to watch it happen
18
We rolling like six vans deep
19
Commotion in the front so I looked up from my seat
20
About a couple dozen
21
I mean as far as I could see
22
Holding armor detouring our van off the street
23
Confusion as they moved in closer
24
Looking like a whole platoon of A.F.P. soldiers
25
Pulling and pushing me out the vehicle
26
A Hays van driver asked him, "Why?"
27
So they shot him in the face
28
Tears start leaking out my eyes
29
I'm begging for my life, I got a son and a wife
30
Out the side of my eyes, I see 'em line the first van up
31
Firing squad style, aimed at 'em {machine gun shots}
32
Blasting 'em up
33
My knees gave
34
They yelling, "Stand up"
35
I kept screaming, "Please don't" I put my hands up
36
I watched as they raped all the women
37
Then aimed pistols at the genitals of all the victims
38
Shot the women in the face and they crotches
39
I'm shaking
40
Helpless, crying, watching
41
Locked in, eye contact with a rifle
42
I thought about my wife and my child and I scream
43
[Hook] {x4}
44
Don't shoot
45
No, no please don't shoot
46
[Verse Two]
47
This all truth in the story no reason to lie
48
The massacre of 58 innocent lives
49
All behind the power and corruption and greed
50
It's the politics of business in the Philippians
51
The president implemented through a feudalist need
52
Democracy distorted, time to get us free
53
Feel like I'm in denial right now
54
It feel like Maguindanao right now
55
Uh
56
Feel like Maguindanao right now
57
It feel for Maguindanao right now
58
[Hook]
