and everything changed, on a new year's day
Every official that come in
Cripples us leaves us maimed Silent and tamed And with our flesh and bones He builds his homes Southern fist Rise through tha jungle mist Clenched to smash power so cancerous Black flag and a red star A rising sun loomin over Los Angeles Yes for Raza livin in La La Like Gaza on to tha dawn Intifada Reach for the lessons tha masked pass on Seize tha metropolis Its you its built on Everything can change on new years day Everything can change on a new years day Everything can change on a new years day Everything changed on a new years day Cmon War within a breath Its land or death War within a breath Its land or death War within a breath Its land or death War within a breath Its land Their existence is a crime Their seat, their robe, their tie Their land deeds Their hired guns Theyre tha crime Shots heard underground round the rapture Worlds eye captured At last is a Mexican pasture Tha masked screaming land or deathWithin a breath A war from the depth of time Shot four puppet governors in a line Shook all tha world bankers Who think they can rhyme Shot the landlords who knew it was mine Yes its a war from the depth of time |
The Depostion of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie occurred on Ethiopian New Years, 1974, September 11....
 this is actually the last photograph ever taken of the Emperor. This report on the deposal of Haile Selassie I appeared in The Times on September 13, 1974. Haile Selassie I, who had ruled Ethiopia since 1930, was the last ever emperor of his country. There had been an earlier attempt to overthrow Selassie in 1960, but it had been quickly put down by loyalists. However, by 1974 a combination of factors including government corruption, inflation, drought, and famine led to a revolt by left-wing army officers that removed Selassie from power. He died in Addis Ababa on August 27, 1975. Between 1974 and 1987 Ethiopia was governed by the Provisional Military Administrative Council (PMAC), which mainly comprised the military and the police. It suspended the constitution, disbanded the bicameral parliament, and abolished the hereditary monarchy. By 1977, Lieutenant-General Aman Andom, mentioned in the article as the leader of the military government, had given way to Lieutenant-Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam as the country’s chief political figure after a power struggle within the leadership. |

technically yes, but I believe my point was a bit more ethiocentric. |
