Occupy

Verse 1

[Sloane Amelia]

Occuying space & time is not enough,

PLEASE, occupy your mind

We are floating in a digitial ocean, with no compassion, no love, no emotion

We’re choking on that pepper spray

Protesting the poison

We’re the spokesmen for the broken

Who are occupying flesh without occupying freedom in the brain

& its hard to maintain living in chains

From the corner to the burbs,

Yeah we all are getting served

This land of opportunity’s been tainted by material impurites

We are the Ninty-Nine percent

Its time to impliment unity through community

You feeling me?

(Sloane Amelia & Sugg Savage)

So tell me

What are you living for

Tell me

What are you dying for

Tell me

Who do you believe in

Tell me

What are you crying for


Verse 2

[Sugg Savage]

The needle drops dingalinging going down not a sound

Though the heavy metal from the keepers shovel drags on the ground

ZERO

Theres a hidden hero in your storybook

We over look so lets take another look

Now good don’t always come to the benevolent

Teachers taught me that greed can take you where you never went

Just not to heaven

Found haven in 7 11 from the slurpees

To ranch seeds they all suit my fancy

The small things

And yet I am a puppet hanging from a string

Gotta glitch so they probably gonna pop me 3

Blat blat blow

In my final hour

I’d like to say I lived a hell of a

Particularly irregular

Life of mass hysteria

Black and proud they scared of ya

Scared and black they master ya

Mind game attackin ya

They cut no slack on the back of the spangled flag

Searchin for meaning from cradle to toe tag
