Occupy Your Life

from My Light True by Englewood

/

lyrics

You can occupy a park and live in a tent.
Is it cheaper than paying the rent?
Get a group together to prove that you are here.
Form a Woodstock-village to stave off the fear.
I know that you’re just staving off the fear.

Because the rich are getting richer
and you’re powerless before them.
Losing social benefits and jobs to pay for them.
But in the meantime the ones that you are hurting
are the ones who can’t afford to stop working.
We’re spending money meant to help them
to clean up your mess.
So I suggest you…

Occupy your life. Get off the ground and occupy your life.
Get out and vote and occupy your life.
Or run for office and occupy your life; fight for healthcare.
Come on out of your tent and occupy your life.

So you spend a few days sleeping on the ground.
Meetings with no leaders just go round and round.
You don’t know what to ask for
‘cuz you don’t know what you want.
It’s easy to stay angry when you’ve got someone to taunt.
You’d rather stay angry and now you’ve got someone to taunt. But I suggest you…

Occupy your life. Get off the ground and occupy your life.
Get out the vote and occupy your life.
Join a union and occupy your life.
Come on out of your tent; come on out of that grimy tent.
Come on out of your tent and occupy your life.
