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!!!!!!!
