Stand Up and Fight ~ #OccupyWallStreet ~ SONG


Original music and lyrics by:
Colette Washington and Averill Hayes

VERSE:

Living in a state of fear and separation

What’s wrong with this picture
?
We're preaching peace through world domination

What’s wrong with this picture
?
United we stand, divided we fall

What’s wrong with this picture?

VERSE:

Heed the need to question authority
Don’t be afraid of superiority

When brothers and sisters realize we’re the majority

The people will become the national priority

CHORUS:

We’ve got to stand up and fight

For freedom and justice and civil rights

We’ve got to stand together
Cause 
If they’re coming after you
they’ll be coming after me to
o

BRIDGE:

Come on and get your, get your brothers and your sisters Together
 get in together, get in together, yeah, yeah

Whole lot more of us
than they’ve got over there on the top, yeah yeah...

What are we gonna do about it?
To fix this broken picture?

VERSE:

Trying to find our way
 to a brighter day

What are we gonna do about it
?
So tired of pretending everything is okay

What are we gonna do about it
?
We’re clouded by corruption

What are we gonna do about it?

Class war is our new weapon of mass destruction
So what are we gonna do about it?

CHORUS:

We’ve got to stand up and fight

For freedom and justice and civil rights

We’ve got to stand together
Cause 
If they’re coming after you
they’ll be coming after me to
o

BRIDGE:

Come on and get your, get your brothers and your sisters Together
 get in together, get in together, yeah, yeah

Whole lot more of us
than they’ve got over there
So what are we gonna do about it?
