Neighborhood

Battle Cry

Occupied Lexington Herald

By Justin Cooper

they gathered together like primal peoples

their village filled the small patch of land

the message was loud, the answer simple

“your house you’ve built was built on sand”

 

NOW HEAR them as the drum crescendos

voices raised in downright DECREE

refuse to move until you are heard

“better to die on your feet than live on your knees”

 

bullets & tear gas urge the chaos

deflections from our true cause

fleece of this thing called money

but you will answer to the people’s law

 

this 1% has hid its power

behind a veil of complexity

our voice is out here in reality

our strength is standing right next to me

 

YOU WILL COME OUT AND ANSWER US!

you will admit you’ve met defeat

so when the next time you are asked

you will reply… whose streets ?

 

OOOOOOOUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR STREETS!!!!!!!
