Makana lyrics : "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
