Lyrics

L Occupy America D
Words and music by Patrick Dodd

It started in New York City
Spread like a flame across the land
Workers tired of hard times
Mad enough to finally take a stand
We are the hands that make this country run
Without us not one thing gets done
Time to Occupy America it’s time to bring it home

We’re tired of Wall Street lies
Sayin’ Workers ain’t worth decent pay
Tired of off shore labor deals
Tired of seein’ good jobs shipped away
We’re the hands that make this country run
Without us not one thing gets done
Time to Occupy America it’s time to bring it home

Chorus:
Won’t you stand?
Oh won’t you stand?
Won’t you take a million workers by the hand?
Won’t you stand?
Oh won’t you stand?
Time to Occupy America cause this here’s labors land
Yes I will stand
Yes I will stand
I will take my friends and neighbors by the hand
Yes I will stand
Yes I will stand
Time to Occupy America cause this here’s labors land

In cities large and small
The Workers cried we will not fade away
We are marching toward a better world
So are children can get jobs with decent pay
We are the hands that make this country great
We will turn it round it’s not too late
Time to Occupy America it’s time to bring it home
We are tired of Wall Street profits
Costin’ us our good jobs and our homes
And with the millions that are standin’ tall
We know that none of us are in this fight alone
We are the hands that make this country great
We will turn it round it’s not too late
Time to Occupy America it’s time to bring it home

Chorus:
Won’t you stand?
Oh won’t you stand?
Won’t you take a million workers by the hand?
Won’t you stand?
Oh won’t you stand?
Time to Occupy America cause this here’s labors land
Yes I will stand!
Yes I will stand!
I will take my friends and neighbors by the hand!
Yes I will stand!
Yes I will stand!
Time to Occupy America cause this here’s labors land.

Repeat till the boss hears you!
