We Are The Many

Ye come here, gather 'round the stage
The time has come for us to voice our rage
Against the ones who've trapped us in a cage
To steal from us the value of our wage

From underneath the vestiture of law
The lobbyists at Washington do gnaw
At liberty, the bureaucrats guffaw
And until they are purged, we won't withdraw

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

Our nation was built upon the right
Of every person to improve their plight
But laws of this Republic they rewrite
And now a few own everything in sight

They own it free of liability
They own, but they are not like you and me
Their influence dictates legality
And until they are stopped we are not free

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You enforce your monopolies with guns
While sacrificing our daughters and sons
But certain things belong to everyone
Your thievery has left the people none

So take heed of our notice to redress
We have little to lose, we must confess
Your empty words do leave us unimpressed
A growing number join us in protest

We occupy the streets
We occupy the courts
We occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

You can't divide us into sides
And from our gaze, you cannot hide
Denial serves to amplify
And our allegiance you can't buy

Our government is not for sale
The banks do not deserve a bail
We will not reward those who fail
We will not move till we prevail

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

We'll occupy the streets
We'll occupy the courts
We'll occupy the offices of you
Till you do
The bidding of the many, not the few

We are the many
You are the few

Aloha friends, I've added an orchestra and "many" voices to "We Are The Many" and it will be available on my upcoming album "Manic" due out this year! I'm doing a Kickstarter campaign to help fund the record independent of major labels. Please check it out and show your support by visiting my website (Google "Makana"). Thank you for all of your amazing support for my music. Many more powerfully relevant songs to come, stay tuned... ALOHA! Makana

Hey Man I saw this video a while ago and I really enjoyed it. In fact I wrote about it on my blog. Thanks for being brave!

[Blake Lanoza]

This video needs more friggin views

[texastruthseeker]

Beautiful song. Left/right is a ploy to divide us and keep us from seeing who is really in charge. Keep singing the truth

[Dan Lewis]

Super song. A song of the times. A historic song. May great change come.

[Shannon Frank]

My college instructor played this video for the class today. Very powerful - both melody and lyrics. Love it.

[Yoni Miller]

I remember Skyping with you, on November 20th 2011. We in OWS just got raided, and were in low mood, but you're live singing and chat really cheered us. Solidarity!
