Joseph Arthur – We Stand As One (Guitar)

A
We occupy wall street

E
Take back our soul

D
Take back our country

A
Take back control

A
Take back our health care

E
Take back our mind

D
Take back our freedom

A
Give up the grind

A
We occupy wall street

E
No more fear

D
No more acceptance

A
Of insanity's sneer

A
No more division

E
No more restraint

D
Our canvas is freedom

A
Your blood is our paint

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
You who have robbed us

E
You who have lied

D
You who were greedy

A
While the needy ones died

A
You who believed

E
You were better than them

D
Who sat in the flower

A
Ignoring the stem

A
You who denied them

E
Doctors and care

D
Humanity's basics

A
As if death were their share

A
You who denied

E
The struggles of most

D
Like a pig you consumed

A
And like a pig you will roast

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
We occupy wall street

E
The system has failed

D
As the innocent ones

A
Are beat down and jailed

A
The criminal minds

E
Have stolen this land

D
By taking our freedom

A
And binding our hand

A
To the cuff of misfortune

E
To the cuff of our need

D
To the cuff of self pity

A
To the cuff of a seed

A
Lost in the desert

E
No chance to survive

D
No love to nurture

A
No water to thrive

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
A season of murder

E
The body and soul

D
Dreams being shattered

A
The damnation control

A
Give back our country

E
We come to defend

D
Our right to inspire

A
To love and befriend

A
Our right to be healthy

E
Our right to believe

D
In a country of equals

A
Of a chance to receive

A
A chance to develop

E
A chance to forgive

D
A chance to dignify

A
The way that we live

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
A chance education

E
A chance to secure

D
A place for our families

A
Our right to a cure

A
The disease is insane

E
The disease is just greed

D
The disease is your pain

A
Ignoring their need

A
The disease is your reason

E
Your will is unchecked

D
But the blood is all over

A
The lives you have wrecked

A
But blessed are the meek

E
For we stand as one

D
We stand against

A
The crimes you have done

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
We stand against

E
Your desire for more

D
Hear how we knock

A
Soon there won't be a door

A
And what you won't share

E
Will be ripped from your hands

D
Your body destroyed

A
The way fire lands

A
Burning your homes

E
The privilege you snake

D
The payback beyond

A
Anything you could take

A
Naked you'll be

E
And full of regret

D
And the way they were treated

A
You'll long to forget

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
You'll wish you could go back

E
And undo whats been done

D
You'll wish you were never

A
Insanity's son

A
You'll wish you were fair

E
You'll wish for compassion

D
But it will be late

A
And long out of fashion

A
Strung up you'll bleed

E
Like the pig you became

D
A symbol of hatred

A
And one with no name

A
And our country will come back

E
Belonging to us

D
Regain it's spirit

A
Regain our trust

E  D        A
We stand as one

A
Regain it's standing

E
Regain the world

D
The dream of our fathers

A
A new and bold world

A
Where people have chance

E
And can live with respect

D
And people can dance

A
Beyond their neglect

A
Where health is a right

E
And education within

D
The grasp of the poor

A
Who may still one day win

A
We occupy wall street

E
So that we may begin

D
To live in a country

A
Of freedom again

E  D        A
We stand as one
