Album Notes

Please visit my official site www.reesemusic.com. This is my new protest song called 'Occupy'. It will be on my new album 'Lucky Dog' that will be out this January. Even though it will be a rock/blues/funk album, I was inspired to write this protest song in the spirit of what is going on right now. If you like the song please download it here, check out the lyrics, pass it on to others.

OCCUPY
by Reese

WELL THERE'S WORKING MAN LAY OFFS
CORPORATION PAY OFFS
BIG BANK BAIL OUTS
AND STUDENTS FORCED TO DROP OUT
DOWNSIZING IN EFFECT
LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK
MIDDLE CLASS BECOMES THE POOR
INTEREST RATES BEGIN TO SOAR

99% HELD BACK CARRYING THE BURDEN
1% IN CHARGE, WITHOUT A HAND TO LEND
BEEN ASLEEP TOO LONG, NOW GROWING IN SIZE
WE'RE WIDE AWAKE SO OPEN YOUR EYES

O C C U P Y, OCCUPY ORGANIZE
O C C U P Y, OCCUPY JOIN THE FIGHT
THE MESSAGE CLEARLY DEFINED
NO ONE LEFT BEHIND
SHOUT IT OUT, HOLD UP A SIGN
NO ONE LEFT BEHIND

FEELING LIKE YOUR VOTE'S IGNORED
TO STAY ASLEEP A VOICE UNHEARD
THE FUTURE OF THE HUMAN RACE
IT'S MEMBERS PARTICIPATE
PROFIT OVER PEOPLE
CONTROL OF THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA
WORK TOGETHER PEACEFULLY
A BRAND NEW ASSEMBLY

SO HERE WE ARE ONCE AGAIN
TRYING TO GET IT RIGHT MY FRIEND
IT'S HARD FOR YOU TO HEAR MY SIDE
WHEN YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO COMPROMISE
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
OPPRESSION MUST CEASE
WE JUST WANT A BETTER WORLD
SO LISTEN TO OUR WORDS
