Lyrics

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
