lyrics

wake up, wake up, are you thinking? wonder if you’ll recognize the plan, they call starve the beast, a manufactured crisis for their need. get you scared so you cannot think straight, blame everybody but those with power, those responsible, divide and conquer the people.

wonder how much longer we will tolerate, the few to hoard it all, while we all tremble in shame I wanna know.

find money for the jails and wars, find money for wall street overlords, so sorry we cannot
afford health care or your education. socialism for all the rich men. bailouts, tax havens, corporate welfare. maybe what’s good for them, might be good for us?

I wonder how much longer will we tolerate, the few to hoard it all, while thousands starve everyday. I wanna know.

"there comes a time when, the operation of the machine, becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can’t take part, can’t even passively take part; you’ve got to put your
bodies upon the gears, upon the wheels and all the apparatus. and you’ve got to make it stop,
make it stop." (paraphrased by Mario Savio speech, 1964)

let’s get together and occupy the world over
