Joseph Arthur - We Stand As One lyrics

We occupy wall street Take back our soul Take back our country Take back control Take back our health care Take back our mind Take back our freedom Give up the grind We occupy wall street No more fear No more acceptance Of insanity's sneer No more division No more restraint Our canvas is freedom Your blood is our paint We stand as one You who have robbed us You who have lied You who were greedy While the needy ones died You who believed You were better than them Who sat in the flower Ignoring the stem You who denied them Doctors and care Humanity's basics As if d**h were their share You who denied The struggles of most Like a pig you consumed And like a pig you will roast We stand as one We occupy wall street The system has failed As the innocent ones Are beat down and jailed The criminal minds Have stolen this land By taking our freedom And binding our hand To the cuff of misfortune To the cuff of our need To the cuff of self pity To the cuff of a seed Lost in the desert No chance to survive No love to nurture No water to thrive We stand as one A season of murder The body and soul Dreams being shattered The damnation control Give back our country We come to defend Our right to inspire To love and befriend Our right to be healthy Our right to believe In a country of equals Of a chance to receive A chance to develop A chance to forgive A chance to dignify The way that we live We stand as one A chance education A chance to secure A place for our families Our right to a cure The disease is insane The disease is just greed The disease is your pain Ignoring their need The disease is your reason Your will is unchecked But the blood is all over The lives you have wrecked But blessed are the meek For we stand as one We stand against The crimes you have done We stand as one We stand against Your desire for more Hear how we knock Soon there won't be a door And what you won't share Will be ripped from your hands Your body destroyed The way fire lands Burning your homes The privilege you snake The payback beyond Anything you could take Naked you'll be And full of regret And the way they were treated You'll long to forget We stand as one You'll wish you could go back And undo whats been done You'll wish you were never Insanity's son You'll wish you were fair You'll wish for compa**ion But it will be late And long out of fashion Strung up you'll bleed Like the pig you became A symbol of hatred And one with no name And our country will come back Belonging to us Regain it's spirit Regain our trust We stand as one Regain it's standing Regain the world The dream of our fathers A new and bold world Where people have chance And can live with respect And people can dance Beyond their neglect Where health is a right And education within The grasp of the poor Who may still one day win We occupy wall street So that we may begin To live in a country Of freedom again We stand as one
