Occupy from Reluctance by Paul Burris

there are those who say it’s over
cuz they want us to forget
this recent cry for justice
is just not over yet
but we’ve been to the mountain top
and we’ve seen the other side
waters parted can’t be stopped
the two world’s will collide

Chorus:
occupy . . . occupy this time
occupy . . . occupy this place
occupy . . . it is our occupation
to save the human race

as we occupy this planet
remember what she’s worth
we can’t take her for granted
our sacred mother earth
choking air and rancid waters
filled with industrial waste
fueled by greed and corruption
in every bite of food we taste

Chorus

have we forgotten the lessons
of unbridled corporate greed?
maximize profits and the prisons
so that 1% succeed
he came down from the mountain
shattered tablets on the ground
at the feet of golden idols
hear the trumpets sound

Chorus

occupy . . . occupy your life
occupy . . . occupy every place
occupy . . . it is our obligation
to save the human race
