Lyrics
Verse 1
We occupy the street
We don't intend to destroy
We need the right to be really free
Don't want your sham election
Verse 2
You hide and call the police
Tell 'em to fight us anyway
We beg you to stop
We continue to say
Pre-Chorus
We, love, peace
We, love, peace
Chorus
Choose our way ~
Have our say
Keep our faith~
We'll have a better place
Verse 3
We need to make a change
You say no to everything
You force us on your choice
We're gonna make a stand
Bridge/Interlude
You have Spray! Baton! Tear gas!
We have Goggle! Mask! Umbrella!
