lyrics

"A Better World Is Possible"

Hook:

Together We’re Unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Together We’re Unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Never Sell Out to Corporate Control
We're Building A New World in the Shell of the Old (x 2)

Verse 1:

We are the 99%
The ones who get left behind in all this mess
Banks bailed out, now they shred the social safety net
If we rise up, we face crazy threats
Spend our whole lives trapped in a haze of debt,
Can’t pay student loans or pay the rent
Most living paycheck to paycheck,
So our cars & homes get repossessed
Can’t keep a roof over our heads
Living in streets, or living in tents,
Either way, we’re facing death by benign neglect,
The time is now to resist the 1%
They try to blame the victims,
That’s pure nonsense
They got their riches
Through enslavement & conquest
The time is now to resist the 1%
Never Submit,
We’re facing
Death by benign neglect

Hook:

Together We’re Unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Together We’re Unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Never Sell Out to Corporate Control
We're Building A New World in the Shell of the Old (x 2)

Verse 2:

We need unity for community
We need unity for co-mutiny
Get off your knees
& Get what you need
Occupy Wall Street, all day, all week
Occupy All Streets
& Bring the golden bull to it’s knees
For true equality
Bridge communities
Reclaim space
Live communally
Spark mutiny
& Soon you’ll see
We got strength in numbers
Don’t let the social fabric be torn asunder
Occupy & provide for your sisters and brothers
Time to strike like thunder (x 2)
We have a right to resist any system
Rewarding greed and indifference
But can’t feed it’s children
Can’t do it alone
We need unity in resistance
Don’t sell out,
Don’t lose your convictions
We need unity in resistance
What’s missing in this system,
Human connection, just listen
Your heart's not made
Of pumps, gears, and pistons
The 1% got bailed out
The titanic christened…

Hook:

Together We’re Unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Together We’re Unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Never Sell Out to Corporate Control
We're Building A New World in the Shell of the Old (x 2)

Verse 3:

The 1% got
Endless wealth to thrive
Bare-bones,
We counting pennies to survive
They are the few,
We are the many,
Time to rise
No orders from on high,
We’ll self-organize
Build below,
Grass-roots resistance
Directly democratic,
Autonomous interdependence
Self-defense of our tents,
Repression’s senseless
The poor are put on trial,
We’re full time defendants

Hook:

Together, we’re unstoppable
A Better World Is Possible
Together, we’re unstoppable
A Better world is possible
Never sell out to corporate control
We are building a new world in the shell of the old x 2
