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

Its time NOW for all of us to find our VOICE . SILENCE no more . WATCH : THE MILLITARY KNOWS ISRAEL DID 911 , on YouTube .

[siyuntz]

@MrTVintro I don't think jail is the answer. "Imprison them in the name of freedom" tastes bitter on my tongue. Teach and love.

/and I'm an athiest too! LOL

[MrWeAreTheMany]

I love this song. You capture our voices. It's unfortunate that I fear to voice my real opinion of our government. All I can say is "We are the many not the few" Thank you ManakeVideos.

[EzekielWinnfield]

This isn't bad. Simple and direct can be a good thing.

[metaphysicslab]

This is beautiful and pitifully stupid.

[asiyat99]

I love this song :) It inspired me to write my own occupy song.

Check it out on my channel- if you like it, please share it. We need more music for the 99% !

[RugbyLiker]

What's this guys problem?!??!??? WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THIS SONG?!?!??! SERIOUSLY?!? No harmonies?! Where is the world going...

[HydrogenDominion]

@Mike2020able Are you sure??? Do you know what you are saying?? America MAY have allowed 911 to happen to take away our freedom and justify an energy war because we are past Peak Oil. This makes more sense. If you blame M.O.S.S.A.D you MUST blame the president of the United States as well. If the US Military Knew. The US Military is guilty of Murder and the US Military answers to the President. They call Him Commander and Chief! That’s where the BUCK stops
