Occupy - Leo Sayer

«And so, as the Occupy movement comes to a sad

And predictable end here in Washington DC

We are here to look back at the confusing, interesting

And confounding moments of the Occupy protest

Here at Maphister Square in Washington…»

Telephone Steve is a hungry man

Thinks he can change the world with a cheap spray can

So he sends out a message come and meet me tonight

We can party up the town 'til the morning light

Hurricane Annie just feels so alone

She was laid off from her job through no fault of her own

Well the boss man blames all the changin' times

When you can count yourself lucky that you’re still alive

When an immovable yes meets an immovable no

It must be dealt with grace and tempered with soul

If we all give up just a little control

We might find out we have similar goals

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life tonight

African Dave came to this town

'Cos the lights were bright and the music was loud

Well his mama and his papa and his family were proud

But he’s being sent home 'cos his visa’s run out

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life tonight

Schoolboy Ray says his prospects are thin

But he loves his girl Virginia Slim

And they believe in love and they believe in life

So they’re off to the party in the park tonight

Million-dollar Bill used to trade on the floor

But he got de-listed by Standard and Poor

Now his pants are torn and he’s all in debt

But he’ll party tonight, he hasn’t given up yet

Blackjack Bob is a hell of a rod

He’s a pain in the butt for some unfortunate sod

He comes down hard on the back of the neck

On the soft flesh hanging from unfortunate legs

CS Jane is pain in a can

She can bring the tears to a full-grown man

She’s the party pooper on the floor, that’s right

And she’ll break your heart if she comes out tonight

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life tonight

One spray can, if it’s in the right hands

Could change the world, change the plan

When an immovable yes meets an immovable no

No-one's gonna win, something’s gonna blow

So keep the faith, keep it locked up tight

You know you’re strong when you know you’re right

No-one's gonna rain on your party tonight

Your party tonight, your party tonight

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life

Occupy — take back the streets, take back your life tonight

One spray can, if it’s in the right hands — can change the world,

change the world
