Dear Washington and Wall Street, We are the 99% and we're here to stop the machine.
Why is that we only come through in times of crisis Can't recognize the need while we stare at our devices See, I got the graph and I got the stats And I got the need to keep people from the rats More than simply a game of motivation The idea that together we're better then evolution Not me against you But really an us See, The world is our oyster Only we can destruct Democracy seems really cool The idea that we give voice, even to the fool But see that's the problem With our system of learning The fantastic drips down And infects the yearning Are we meant to play the game on even ground Or is that the fairytale that makes the merry-go-round Used to be tribes Then the nation state drew borders Every revolution comes from disrespecting orders But I got hope And I believe in peace In Korea, South Asia and the Middle East
Cause the youth, yeah, we're finally here Got a future full of love Love without fear Cause the youth, yeah, we're finally here Got stand up, be proud, hold each other near
He said good morning could you raise your right hand Step into the jurors box and take a stand On trial are the quiet dreams of our fathers See those dreams draw lines between us and others
Built our corporate present on them dotted lines It's those strange shapes that seem to plague the mind Mine and yours An equation outdated The prosecution suggests it be recalibrated
My patriotic dream is recast as struggle We the people be building out of this rubble
How many more rotations about the sun Before my brothers in arms will lay down their guns "We the people" is beyond a battle cry A Formula for peace and progress in our time
The current manifesto manifests too small Promise of living is dwarfed by the wall My aim is not guilt nor material goods My sights on inspiration cross all latitudes My declaration declares one thing Creation exists in each human being
Cause the youth, yeah, we're finally here Got a future full of love Love without fear Cause the youth, yeah, we're finally here Got stand up, be proud, hold each other near
Whispers of the revolution are getting louder on the Wall Streets and Main Streets from New York to Los Angeles and around the world See, we need the corruption and greed to end And we need to learns respect for all of our brothers and sisters See youth, it's a state of mind and we preach a future full of Love Hope and progress
Cause the youth, yeah, we're finally here Got a future full of love Love without fear Cause the youth, yeah, we're finally here Got stand up, be proud, hold each other near credits released 05 October 2011
