Occupy

"And so, as the Occupy Movement comes to a sad
And predictable end here in Washington, DC
We are here to look back at the confusing, interesting
And confounding moments of the Occupy protest
Here at McPherson Square in Washington ..."

Telephone Steve is a hungry man
Thinks he can change the world with a cheap spray can
So he sends out a message, come and meet me tonight
We can party up the town 'til the morning light, hmm

Hurricane Annie just feels so alone
She was laid off from her job through no fault of her own
Well, the boss man blames all the changin' times
When you can count yourself lucky that you're still alive, hey

When an immovable yes meets an immovable no
It must be dealt with grace and tempered with soul
If we all give up just a little control
We might find out we have similar goals

(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life
(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life tonight

African Dave came to this town
'Cause the lights were bright and the music was loud
Well his mama and his papa and his family were proud
But he's being sent home 'cause his visa's run out

(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life
(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life tonight

Schoolboy Ray says his prospects are thin
But he loves his girl Virginia Slim
And they believe in love and they believe in life
So they're off to the party in the park tonight

Million-dollar Bill used to trade on the floor
But he got delisted by Standard and Poor
Now his pants are torn and he's all in debt
But he'll party tonight, he hasn't given up yet

Blackjack Bob is a hell of a rod
He's a pain in the butt for some unfortunate sod
He comes down hard on the back of the neck
On the soft flesh hanging from unfortunate legs

CS Jane is pain in a can
She can bring the tears to a full-grown man
She's the party pooper on the floor, that's right
And she'll break your heart if she comes out tonight

(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life
(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life tonight

One spray can, if it's in the right hands
Could change the world, change the plan
When an immovable yes meets an immovable no
No-one's gonna win, something's gonna blow

So keep the faith, keep it locked up tight
You know you're strong when you know you're right
No-one's gonna rain on your party tonight
Your party tonight, your party tonight

(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life
(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life
(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life
(Occupy) take back the streets, take back your life tonight

One spray can, if it's in the right hands -
Can change the world, change the world
