Lyrics
For What It's Worth
Written by Stephen Stills
There's somethin' happenin' here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
A tellin' me, I got to beware
I think it's time we stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speakin' their minds
A gettin' so much resistance from behind
Time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
What a field day for the heat
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
A thousand people in the street
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
Singing songs and they carrying signs
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
Mostly say, hooray for our side
(Hmm, hmm, hmm)
It's time we stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line, the man come and take you away
We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop, now, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
We better stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
OCCUPY
Written by: Greg Coleman
1st. Verse: Our voices have been silent far too long
The 99% is growing strong
Citizens are taking to the streets
Sick and tired of suffer-ing defeat
2nd. Verse: Everybody needs to represent
Investigate the way the money’s spent
(It’s time to occupy)
3rd. Verse: This system is unfair and so unjust
These conditions warrant a protest
Accusing us of crying for handouts
All the while you’re begging for bailouts
4th. Verse: We don’t really need your charity
We only want the fairness that we need
(It’s time to occupy)
Bridge: Can you feel it?
There’s something in the air
No more apathy
It’s time for us to care
A generation has suffered cause of greed
We’ve got to hit the streets
To get the things we need
4th. Verse: Americans are feeling so much pain
Fighting all the wars you start in vain
Claiming that were fighting to be free
Now we know they die for the money
5th. Verse: You don’t care how badly that we grieve
Cause you never send your families
(It’s time to occupy)
Bridge: No more sitting back
While you lie and cheat and steal
These changes are now permanent
Our discontent is real
Just keep the movement strong
We owe it to our youth
Don’t just occupy the streets
Let’s hit the voting booths
1st. Verse: Our voices have been silent far too long
Now the 99% is growing strong
Citizens are taking to the streets
Sick and tired of suffer-ing defeat
2nd. Verse: Everybody needs to represent
Investigate the way the money’s spent
(It’s time to occupy)
3rd. Verse: This system is unfair and so unjust
These conditions warrant a protest
Accusing us of crying for handouts
All the while you’re begging for bailouts
4th. Verse: We don’t really need your charity
We only want the fairness that we need
(It’s time to occupy)
End: It’s time to occupy
It’s time to occupy
It’s time to occupy
It’s time to occupy
