Corporations Don’t Own Us Anymore
by Samantha Elin
Corporations don’t own us anymore
Corporations don’t own us anymore
They don’t own us anymore
The gates are open, hear us roar
Corporations don’t own us anymore
We’re not gonna sit around and wait for things to change
Not gonna sit around and wait for things to change
We’re not gonna wait around for change
We’re gonna rattle the banker’s cage
Not gonna sit around and wait for things to change
Cuz 99 percent can’t be wrong
Ninety-nine percent of us can’t be wrong
We can’t all be wrong
So don’t tell us to move along
Ninety-nine percent can’t be wrong
Gonna stay out here as long as we should
We’re gonna stay out here as long as we should
Gonna stay as long as we should
Until Wall Street makes good
We’re gonna stay out here as long as we should
Uniforms won’t scare us away
Uniforms won’t scare us away
They won’t scare us away
We’ll be back the next day
Uniforms won’t scare us away
Left, right, center, we’re here as one
Left, right, center, we’re all here as one
Left, right, center, we’re here as one
The oligarchy is over and done
Left, right, center, we’re all here as one
Cuz rich men’s money don’t ever trickle down
Rich men’s money don’t ever trickle down
The money don’t trickle down
In an economy build by clowns
Rich men’s money don’t ever trickle down
Corporations own most everything
Corporations, they own most everything
They own most everything
Newspapers, government and TV
Corporations own most everything
But corporations don’t own us anymore
Corporations don’t own us anymore
They don’t own us anymore
The gates are open, hear us roar
Corporations don’t own us anymore
No, corporations don’t own us anymore

I can hear the pinprick, I can hear the razor blade
I can hear the sound of a life laid down like a prayer
I can feel the rumble of war pressing up against all of our hearts
And I share the fear that somehow all of this will be taken away
Blessed be the journalists who pen the truth no matter what the cost
Blessed are the ones who stand up to those who take a stick to the flock
Blessed be the firemen that put out the flames that around us roar
And blessed be the peacemakers in a time of endless war
I can hear your blood pound
I can feel the rhythm of your breath
I can see from your bright eyes and smile
That you’ve chosen to turn away from death
I can feel the promise of love in life’s darkness breaking all the way free
And I can only shake my head that I found you and then you found me
Blessed be those who see beyond the world pulled over our eyes
Blessed are the ones who try to tell their story to mocking eyes
Blessed is every one of us who still remembers what life is for
And blessed be the peacemakers in a time of endless war. - Track Name: Kim Boekbinder and Triptonikhan - Anthem for OWS

I don't want no revolution
I can't dance to
You can take my money
But you can't take my moves
I don't want no revolution
I can't live for
We're living in the age of change now
We're changing more and more
(Crowd)
Mic check
To the fall of Wall Street
Our work is hard
Our work is strong
Our work is beautiful
It's never done
As long as we breathe
We won't be denied
to change our world
we have the right
to change our world
we have the right
I don't want no revolution
I can't dance to
I don't want no revolution
I can't live for - Track Name: Anthony Moser - One Percent
-
Ninety nine percent don’t have the gold you pay the rent
You’re working hard you’re getting stiffed
I ain’t no chump you catch my drift
You know you just got to be that one percent
Ninety nine percent why can’t you save what I have spent
Why can’t you straighten what I’ve bent
Why can’t you cover what I’ve lent
You know you just got to spot me that one percent
Heavy is the wealthy head that wears the golden crown
You don’t know how hard it is to keep you people down
One has got to win some ninety-nine has got to lose
One percent can keep the money
ninety-nine can pay the dues
You just got to be that one percent
You and everybody that you know
and everyone you’ve ever met
all put together still won’t make a dent
You just got to be that one percent - Track Name: 1nvisibleman - Occupy Wall Street
- We are the 99%, So are You!

-
Greed runs the clock
Greed runs the clock
Greed runs the clock
So we're running out of time
There's no reason There's no reason
Greed runs the clock
Greed runs the clock
Greed runs the clock
So we're running out of time
We're running out of time
We're running out of time
We're running out of time

Verse 1
They build the weapons
They plan the wars
Outsource the jobs
Lock all the doors
Men in high places
Tell citizens
"Corporations are
people my friend"
Chorus
I've never seen one laugh or cry
Never kiss their kids goodbye
Never stay up all night
To stare at a blue sky
Stare at a blue sky
Verse 2
They own the houses
They own the land
Have politicians
At their command
They run the TV
Radio too
They make disasters
Sell you the news
Verse 3
We don't have money
We don't have guns
Offshore accounts or
Mutual funds
From the suburbs
To trailer parks
We've got each other
and that's a start
Chorus
We are people who laugh and cry
Always kiss our kids goodbye
We will stand here all night
To stare at a blue sky
Stare at a blue sky
Stare at a blue sky
Stare at a blue sky - Track Name: MeccaGodZilla & thekeenone - "Tread" (Occupy Wall Street Remix)

how many prescriptions can fit up in this system
tryin’ to find a balance in between enlightenment and madness
the tragedy is beautiful
what would jesus do if he was stuck up in this cubicle
the animal in me is getting anxious
gotta make a change soon
make a list of “thank you’s”
for when i’m on the television
runnin’ through the bank you
better believe i’m leavin’ with a couple g’s
doin’ this for steady b
and every nigga that ever figured they didn’t have a choice
a collective yell so i’m collectin’ from all the tellers
i’m tellin them they better not be pushin any buttons
i’m passed the point of reasoning the pigs ain’t doin nothin
cause i got nothin’ to live for
money is a mystery
family is dyin
and i’m swimmin in the misery
all the television shows is niggas drinkin hennesy
i can count on 3 fingers who has been a friend to me
2 of them are long gone livin on the other side
1 of them is in the mirror starin’ with the wild eyes
anchor man workin’ hard tryin to make his point
he don’t understand about a person’s mental breaking point
i feel like i’m in the ocean treadin water
and no matter what i do i start to sink a litter farther
i never thought that i would put the steel in my hand
aim it at a man’s head and ask him for 11 grand
but when you look around and don’t see many options
doesn’t seem to matter you’re surrounded by the cops and
screamin all these orders tellin you to drop your weapon
sayin that they’ll kill you if you take another step
and it doesn’t seem to matter if we make it out or not
even though the pigs were yellin my weapon was never dropped and
i can think of somethin that’s better than bein caught
all my worries go away when i let the bullet pop

You’re moving like a tidal wave
Taking everything that’s in your way
You’re building up a head of steam
It's billowing out in front of me
You sit down, you stand up again
You circle around and follow the wind
But there’s a crack in everything
Now there’s a bad moon
And it’s a cold night
And we all know the meaning of such obvious signs
But time turns
And the wind sings
And you know the way it blows is not a predictable thing
Hold on. - Track Name: Jeremy Joyce - Occupy
-
Until there is hope for the future
Until corporate green is undone
Until we care for the sick and the poor
We will stand as one
We have taken all that we can
And now we must rise
Rise with me my sisters and brothers
And we shall occupy
Occupy the streets
Occupy the land
In the name of freedom, I will make my stand
I will stand by the farmer
Who works in the field
I will stand by the poor man
Who waits for a meal
I will stand by the unions
In solidarity
I will stand by the immigrant
Longing to be free
I will stand by the soldier
Who fights in your unending wars
I will occupy your streets
Until they fight no more
Occupy the highways
Occupy the airports
Occupy the offices
Occupy your home
Occupy the ground on where you stand
You are not alone
Freedom is the pursuit of happiness
It's life and liberty
It sure don’t feel like freedom
If you don't have all three
Freedom is a right to education
And to not be enslaved
To a promise that's meant to be broken
And a debt you pay till your grave
Freedom is a society
That has a caring hand
Until there is that kind of freedom
United we will stand - Track Name: Brandon Carter - They're Trying to Kill You
-
Obama killed Osama
But that wont help the Mama’s
or all the soldiers that die
And gave they lives
to make them Profits...
...for the Rich. They getting richer
While the poor are not acknowledged
And if you get the picture its
no coincidence they got us
living from check to check
while the rest of us living jobless
to pay your dept from your collage
gotta get a second job at starbucks
Treat us with no respect and I guess
cuz they brain washed us
thinking that life is best when you get
material objects
They holding you hostage
got you quick to empty your pockets
for things the go obsolete in a week
and then they end up in your garbage
Thats when you re-enter the possess
marketing business sit in there office
trying to convince you they giving you products
that offer progress
all of its non-sense
I’m nauseous
knowing the bail outs financial systems get
from Congress
but if you poor then they not even interested
all the prison systems is big business
that gotta get profits, so niggas get
hit with the stiffest sentences
(Hook)
They're Trying To Kill You
They put you in a grave
so they get paid
no ones safe
They're Trying To Kill You
Taking your rights away
till your enslaved
thats the way
They're Trying To Kill You
To get they're money right
They will take your life
They aint right
They're Trying To Kill You
Politicians aint on your side
better think twice
time to fight
They're Trying To Kill You
Bush Killed Sadaam
But that wont right the wrongs
of all the money spent on war
while the poor
try to hold on
We should be taking care em
instead of dropping them bombs
we really fight terrorism
or we fighting Islam?
That Holy war aint working
Mosque and Churches
get it straight
Because i know for certain
the verses dont advocate
you killing another person
or hurting them for there faith
Al-Qaeda wont see the virgins
Bush wont see no pearly Gates
You living a lie,
you see what i mean when
you spending eternity burning in fire
your servants will find,
you below the surface
your criminal purpose
dont serve the divine
you gonna find,
you work for the serpent
when turning to crime
or murdering,
should have been working for peace
not certain but we
should certainly try!
no going back
the enemies the banks too
politics they owing that
so they can buy and trade you
Job wages rolling back
man they tryna enslave you
Obama works for Goldman Sachs
how he gonna save you? - Track Name: MC Faceman - Occupy America

Once upon a time (kookoo), we could run and climb,
Speak our mind.. could even read and write
Critical thoughts got bought for Peter Pipe
The tune he plays.. a broken record for mice
It skips its tune, it skips our rights
Sheep to slaughter to lamb to halal stand
_It's easy to kick ass said The Man
Got bodies bent backwards with heads in the sand
Stuck, quicker than quicksand suck,
Are you quick to stand or jus quick to jump?
There's a difference, one keeps ya head up
The other is a reflex, the defect of a punk
Coddled, nanny state got you on the bottle
Pathmark outta food? well now you gotta borrow
But don't worry about it, beg for a barcode
_And that's it, checkout treadmill
Paper or plastic? Vapor or Casket?
How about a chip on ya wrist? Not shoulder?
Would an app get a dap even though it tracks ya motorola?
_I wonder who we sold our soul to
The unholy marriage of cosa nostra and coca cola!?
Sorry teacup, hold your own, can you handle it?
_No one has said it yet but you can resist
...I worry where the cameras is, and which scanners equipped
Are most cancerous
If you languish in language of political panderers
Ignorin what the damage is what do you tell your kids?
When history taught ain't how you remembered it?
_When "war is peace", words are just rhetoric.
_Peep the terror shift, first Muslim extremists
Now regular Americans are perilous
_Get the jist? No? Then get the list
First no fly then no buy, what's next no live?
_Yo the clock is racin for all races
A master works his slave to death before replacement
Fear your tastin, similar to vinegar
Why you lookin at me sideways like Forrest Whittaker?
_Too many Nero-like fiddlers, sippin champagne
While picketers drown in a mace-laced crying shame
_Freedom ain't free it may require pain
_But for higher change you could never die in vain
_This a turning point but for real
No drill.. pick up the pieces, put down the pills
_No escape exists until we foot the bill
Pay with ya feet, occupy Capitol Hill - Track Name: The Historical Society - Occupy Wall Street!

We come to occupy, we are the 99
percent of the people that have been denied
a fair slice of the pie, but now we're organized
and coming coming coming to occupy
We occupy Wall Street and sweep the whole country
taking the whole state of Georgia in Troy Davis' memory
free Bradley Manning and support Wikileaks
and hold the accountable for the secrets that they keep
and the company they keep, deep in corporate pockets
gov't by for and of private profits
stop it, the money flows through the system
and overturn the Citizen United supreme covert decision
as it stands free speech is a suitcase of cash
it is like a 500,000 dollar poll tax
we can vote in an election that has already been sold
but we're going unlock democracy from this strangle hold
even education is a privilege, W went to yale
that is proof right there the system has failed
so we are taking over the entire nation
and welcome you to join the occupation.
and to the PD I seen your brutality
lie from streaming for the whole world to see
but who are you protecting, you shouldn't hate us
wasn't your pension stolen by Bernie Madoff
still you wrap us in nets and spray us with mace
drag us by rip ties out of occupied space
arrests for chalk or wearing a mask
but jail time is temporary, this movement will last
we remain non-violent through all the attacks
through it all the media has gone black
but they are just funded by corporate greed
we don't need them, we got live twitter feeds
and we are talking a wide variety of topics
like how to change our system of economics
so the majority or the wealth you had better look out
the majority of the people going to take you out
we come to occupy!
We come to occupy, we are the 99
percent of the people that have been denied
we see through the lies cutting corporate ties
and coming coming coming to occupy - Track Name: Betsi Krisniski - We Are the 99%

there gets to be a point you gotta stop signing your name
and start showing up
using your voice to prove
that you don't underestimate yourself
whether in person, or simply in song
show us what you mean
what you mean
irrigation systems work best
when there's crops that need to eat
point your pipe in the wrong direction
you've got water in the street
five people to an umbrella with the same thought in their teeth
that's community
a social circle at its best
pass your lessons to the left
pass your lessons to the left
that's how i learned to be independent
and how to go to open mic
how to stand on the streets of the rich
and hold up a sign
how to dam that raging river
one rock at a time
we are the 99
my friends and me will make music
as distraction from the heat
partial meeting of the minds
partial activist retreat
five people to a melody will distract your feet
it makes your heart beat
it makes your heart beat
a social circle at its best
take your lessons from the left
take your lessons from the left
that's how i learned to be independent
and how to go to open mic
how to stand on the streets of the rich
and hold up a sign
how to dam that raging river
one rock at a time
we are the 99
