Lyrics:

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An equation outdated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

  • @MrVerylongcat Actually, clearly I do being that I stayed at the Occupy Wall Street freak show for several hours. troll harder

  • @honeyfernzalea I found this video very entertaining too!

  • @MrEXISTENCIALISMO helllooo.... I went there. Did you?

  • @1of99percent I did not rely on Faux news or Fox news. I went there myself. Troll harder.

  • I went there so I would know.

  • maybe you should get of the mainstream media drug, its obviously inhibiting your ability to think creatively and critically.

  • Every time I listen to this I love it more. I'm posting this on every Facebook "Occupy" page I can paste on. I wouldn't call it "anthem," though. I'm calling it, "Dance of Our Declaration." Think of it as a description, you name your own. But I'm going to spread this around so as many people in this out there can own it, too, as possible. It's strong, but it's "loose." It's stabilizing. So, I'm taking it to The People. Thank you, again.

  • @TisMyIsland troll harder, lol

  • THANK YOU for a song for this movement that we can DANCE to. You are spot on as to what the sovereign people are standing up for, and offer to us the joy we need to feel about finally waking up and standing up to give us heart amidst the hardships we endure and obstacles we face and assaults upon our rights. Your lyric "we're finally here," seems to be a response to Jackson Brown's lyric, "I've been waiting for something happen for a week or a month or a year." We're finally here! Thanks.

  • @TisMyIsland Lol clearly you dont see what they are protesting and what they stand for.
