Jello Biafra & The Guantanamo School Of Medicine - Shock-U-Py lyrics

Occupy! YEAH! YEAH! Shock-U-py! YEAH! YEAH! Once upon a time There was a Great Depression Once upon a time There was a president named Franklin When he first got in A 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 a New Deal Not 'kuz Scrooge found a heart But driven by fear in the air Of revolution Chorus: Wake up and smell the noise We can't take it anymore Corporate rule must go We will Occupy We will Shock-U-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? A crappy job And holes poked in the top of the jar for air? Mic check! (Mic check...) ENOUGH! We say... Million homeless march on Washington 'Kuz 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-U-py 'Kuz we won't back down Occupy! YEAH! YEAH! Shock-U-py! 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 MANDITORY YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! So to all who Occupy And feel the spirit of Shock-U-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 Come back strong Lock-gluing, sit-ins Boycotts, die-ins Defend foreclosed homes Occupy elections Are just one more way A 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 make money But we got our self-respect Your kids might even like you And you'll save on psych-meds 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 back down We will Occupy We will Shock-U-py 'Kuz we can't back down
