Leo Sayer — Occupy

"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
