If There Ever Was a Time

If there ever was a time, it would be now 
Is all I'm saying 
If there ever was a time to get on your feet 
And take it to the street 
'Cause you're the one who's getting played right now 
By the game they're playing 
Come on, meet me down at Zuccotti park 
And say

Chorus: 
Oh, where are the youth, we need you now 
Come speak the truth, come break it down 
Where are the youth, we need you now 

If there ever was a time, it would be now 
To make the masters hear this 
If there ever was a time to get downtown 
And get non-violent and fearless 
Things only get brighter when you light a spark 
Everywhere you go right now is Zuccotti park 

And news corps says you don't have a plan 
Well sit down, man, I'll tell you again 
The plan's to stand together up to greed 
And a tear gas can in a veteran's face 
Won't change the case 

Chorus 

If there ever was a time, it would be now 
For the rest of us 
If there ever was a time it would be now 
'Cause money and power are incestuous 
moment makes a movement 
Or it fades out in the dark 
Come on, meet me down at Zuccotti park 

And I saw a sign in the Oakland spring 
It said "Occupy everything!" 
Or by and for and off won't mean a thing

Chorus

If there ever was a time, it would be now 
Is all I'm saying 
If there ever was a time to get on your feet 
And take it to the street 
'Cause you're the one who's getting played right now 
By the game they're playing 
Come on, meet me down at Zuccotti park
Come on, meet me down at Zuccotti park 
Come on, meet me down at Zuccotti park
