Occupy! YEAH! YEAH!

Shock-U-py! YEAH! YEAH!

Once upon a time

There was a Great Depression

Once upon a time

There was a president named Franklin

When he first got in

A labor leader or two said: Yo!

Frankie baby, listen up!

These are our demands

And FDR said

I want to do it

Now make me do it

And the people made them do it

Yeah!

Unions they marched

General strikes

Unrest in every town

Up went the camps

They called Hoovervilles

They would not take them down

And so we got a New Deal

Not 'kuz Scrooge found a heart

But driven by fear in the air

Of revolution

Wake up and smell the noise

We can't take it anymore

Corporate rule must go

We will Occupy

We will Shock-U-py

And we won't back down

Ladies and gentlemen, our fearless leaders

O, please

Your corporate majesties

Won't you pay a little bit of taxes?

Let us have just a little bit of health care?

A crappy job

And holes poked in the top of the jar for air?

Mic check! (Mic check)

ENOUGH! We say

Million homeless March on Washington

'Kuz they got nowhere to go

Million uninsured converge

And we'll get Medicare for all

And why stop with the banks

Occupy the malls

Blockade corporate predators

Bosses' front lawns!

Wake up and smell the noise

We won't take it anymore

1% must blow

We will Occupy

We will Shock-U-py

'Kuz we won't back down

Occupy! YEAH! YEAH!

Shock-U-py! YEAH!

Occupy-

Means breaking down the walls

Let 'em know that we won't go

'Til we repo what they stole

Shock-you-py

We're the bull in the china shop

And we're never gonna stop

'Kuz sabotage is FUN

And NECESSARY

FUN

And NECESSARY

FUN

And MANDITORY

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

So to all who Occupy

And feel the spirit of Shock-U-py

THANK YOU

We won't go away

We can't all be here all the time

'Kuz the change we want

Will take a long time

So tag-team like wrestling

Re-charge

Flush the burn-out

Come back strong

Lock-gluing, sit-ins

Boycotts, die-ins

Defend foreclosed homes

Occupy elections

Are just one more way

A prank a day

Keeps the dog leash away

Five years from now

Ten years from now

Remember who you are

No matter where

We all wind up

There's ways to fight the power

Won't have so make money

But we got our self-respect

Your kids might even like you

And you'll save on psych-meds

Wake up and smell the noise

We can't take it any more

Corporate coup must go

We will Occupy

We will Shock-U-py

And we won't back down

We will Occupy

We will Shock-U-py

'Kuz we can't back down
