I played this yesterday at the "Occupy Juneau" event(yes, this HAS reached Southeast Alaska, campers) and it went over pretty well there.
Just want any reactions from you guys
(The tune is sort of a rockabilly progression in G, btw)
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(intro, sung like a sort of ballad)
What kind of folks would do a thing like this?
Is that what I heard you say?
There any kind of folks you can ever name
And they’re all right here today:
1)There’s short folks, tall folks, big folks, small folks
Any kind of folks at all
We got short hair, long hair, green hair strong hair
Or no hair at all
All kinds of folks are coming by
They’re all here to OCCUPY!
There's young folks, old folks, shy folks bold folks
Folks of every kind
Hip folks, square folks, here and there folks
Folks of every mind
All those folks are here-here’s why
They’re all here to OCCUPY!
(Chorus)
Occupy the park, yeah, Occupy your street
Your town, your city, and then your state, tell everyone you meet
All kinds of folks are joining in
Occupy and then we’ll WIN!
1)There's black folks, white folks, red folks, yellow folks
Folks who might be plaid
There’s men folks, women folks, somewhere inbetwimmen folks
Folks who are angry and sad
All those folks are gonna testify
They’re all here to OCCUPY!
gay folks, straight folks, bi folks are great folks,
Folks who just wanna be friends
Muslims, Jews, Sikhs, Christians, Hindus. Druids, Wiccans
And folks who don’t care how it ends
All these folks ready to defy
They’re all here to OCCUPY!
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Now there’s no reason you should be afraid
There’s a brand new future waiting to be made
3)There’s folks who work eighty hours a week
While the rich boys go to play,
and Folks who USED to have a job and a home
Before the banks took ‘em both away.
Folks struggling to live, and folks left to die
Joining forces to OCCUPY!
There’s lots of folks in the words of this song,
That ain’t nothin’ new.
But the folks we need now
To win this fight
Are the folks who look like you.
We’re the 99%
Don’t just stand by
Now’s the time to OCCUPY!
(repeat Chorus twice and end)
