This is “Occupy”, a song I wrote in support of the Occupy movement, and a song off of the upcoming album, 63. It’s more of an EBM-influenced song than some of the other stuff I’ve been writing, and as such it will appear on disc two of 63.
The song started life as an experiment to create a more “traditional” EBM bass sound and just sort of took off from there, with me just adding one harsh part to it after another. Although I had been wanting to write a song about the Occupy movement, I didn’t originally intend to do that with this song. But since Occupy seems to be so upset with the way the system is (at least that’s my view of it so far), this song just felt like it fit.
The lyrics are intentionally distorted almost to the point of being unrecognizable. I’ve posted them below.
Enjoy!
Occupy
By Alexa Jones-GonzalesCan’t get hired
No health care
Food or rent
Lose a home
Send it all
To the top
None for you
None for me
Laws that harm
Wars that kill
Markets that
Suck you dry
Uncle Sam
In on it
Welcome to the
Police state
They’ll kick you out
Seize your stuff
Don’t give up
Go back in
Show them who
Owns this place
Demand change
Occupy!
