lyrics

OCCUPY WALL STREET, OCCUPY L.A.

Mic Check, Mic Check
Can I get a Mic Check, Mic check...

Where do I start? For the People who are smart
It comes from the heart, protest is an Art
99 problems and Wall Street is number one
But I don’t need violence, a bomb or a gun

The Revolution is Live and won’t be televised
So, now we take a stand and we ALL occupy
Cause Everybody got a problem with the government
And Most of us represent the 99 percent

So, we sleeping outside in our tents
In each and every city we will commence
Even If we get arrested and it gets intense
Aint nobody out here riding the fence

So we Occupy Wall Street, and Occupy L.A
We occupy All streets in every city, Everyday

We are the 99 percent and we want our government Back
From All of the corporations and this is how we attack

It’s spreading like the flu, but they deny it
Now we’re waiting on you, cause I don’t buy it
The fact they claim we can’t become united
For, the politicians have kept us all divided

So we’re doing it for the students, unions and the pilots
The vets and the homeless who want to start a riot
The Army Moms and the Unemployed
While the one percent continue to make us annoyed

The middle class is suffering and we’ve discovered
We’re all sistahs and brothas, no matter our colors
Or sexual orientations
The Black, Brown, Red and White or Caucasians

Artists, Dancers, Drummers, Musicians
Teachers, Professors and Nurses on a Mission
Until our Government and Wall Street Listens
We’re raising our voices, with signs and fists and...

So we Occupy Wall Street, and Occupy L.A
We occupy All streets in every city, Everyday
We are the 99 percent and we want our government Back
From All of the corporations and this is how we attack

No more corporate greed, In this democracy
Money spent on War, could do so much more
People over profits, Think about the planet
As our Government, continues to take us for granted

The corrupt... They fear us, The honest... support us
The Heroic..join us but the Media ignore us
125 cities, All in unison...
Power to the people, Food not bombs

No more hate, no more division
No more Poverty, No more prisons
No more Bankers getting bailed out
No more politicians who sell us out

No more lies, no more deciet
No more fat cats, while some can’t eat
No more disempowerment, no more defeat
So now we the people, occupy the streets

So we Occupy Wall Street, and Occupy L.A
We occupy All streets in every city, Everyday
We are the 99 percent and we want our government Back
From All of the corporations and this is how we attack
