SHOCK-YOU-PY! (Rock-A-Long Mix)

Occupy! YEAH! YEAH! 
 Shock-you-py! YEAH! YEAH! 

 Once upon a time 
 There was a Great Depression 
 There was a president named Franklin 
 When he first got in 
 labor leader or two said, “Yo! 
 Frankie baby, listen up! 
 These are our demands.” 

 And FDR said, 
 “I want to do it 
 Now make me do it.” 
 And the people made them do it 
 Yeah! 

 Unions they marched 
 General strikes 
 Unrest in every town 
 Up went the camps 
 They called Hoovervilles 
 They would not take them down 

 And so we got the New Deal 
 Not ‘kuz Scrooge found a heart 
 But driven by fear in the air 
 Of revolution 

 [bad word]  
 Wake up and smell the noise 
 We won’t take it anymore 
 [bad word] must go 
 We will occupy 
 We will shock-you-py 
 And we won’t back down 

 Ladies and gentlemen, our fearless leaders: 

 ‘O’ please 
 Your corporate majesties 
 Won’t you pay a little bit of taxes? 
 Let us have just a little bit of health care 
 And holes poked in the top of the jar for air? 

 Mic check! (Mic check…) 

 ENOUGH! We say 

 Million homeless march on Washington 
 ‘Cause they got nowhere to go 
 Million uninsured converge 

 And we’ll get Medicare for all 
 And why stop with the banks 
 Occupy the malls 
 Blockade corporate predators 
 Bosses’ front lawns! 

 Wake up and smell the noise 
 We won’t take it anymore 
 1% must blow 
 We will occupy 
 We will shock-you-py 
 ‘Cause we won’t back down 

 Occupy! YEAH! YEAH! 
 Shock-you-py! YEAH! YEAH! 

 Occupy- 
 Means breaking down the walls 
 Let ‘em know that we won’t go 
 ‘Til we repo what they stole 
 Shock-you-py 

 We’re the bull in the china shop 
 And we’re never gonna stop 
 ‘Kuz sabotage is FUN 
 And necessary 
 FUN 
 And necessary 
 FUN 
 And mandatory 

 YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! 
 YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! 

 So to all who Occupy 
 And feel the spirit of Shock-you-py 
 THANK YOU 
 We won’t go away 

 We can’t all be here all the time 
 ‘Kuz the change we want 
 Will take a long time 
 So tag-team like wrestling, 
 Re-charge 
 Flush the burn-out, 
 [bad word] back strong 

 Lock-glueing, sit-ins 
 Boycotts, die-ins 
 Defend foreclosed homes 
 Occupy elections 

 Are just one more way 
 prank a day 
 Keeps the dog leash 
 Away 

 Five years from now 
 Ten years from now 
 Remember who you are 
 No matter where 
 We all wind up 
 There’s ways to fight the power 

 Won’t have so much money 
 But we got our self-respect 
 Your kids might even like you 
 And you’ll save on psychmeds 

 Wake up and smell the noise 
 We can’t take it any more 
 Corporate coup must go 
 We will occupy 
 We will shock-u-py 
 And we won’t break down 
 We will occupy 
 We will shock-u-py 
 ‘Kuz we can’t back down 

 Occupy! YEAH! YEAH! 
 Shock-you-py! YEAH! YEAH!
