about

original song by: Common & Kanye West

lyrics

VERSE I:
You asked for change
Wallstreet stood & took to the streets.
The whole world stood behind them
In attempt to defeat
The 1%. Power struggle
With nobody to lead
Picket signs to the blind
Step up or concede

Mr President
We out here marching in peace
Tent city's gettin cold
While the hunger increases
Don't wait for the polls
Cuz the problems exposed
Thorned rose
from the concrete streets
where the woes

come in Costco packs
This is beyond black
Class wars
Separated by glass doors
You asked for-change

VERSE II:
We're only after what's right
Camp nights in the streets to ignite change
Asking 1% like Spike, Do The Right Thang
Banks raising fees, like greed's a disease
The trickle down never made it to me
I'm kinda jaded you see
Bills past due that I can't pay
Foreclosure notice telling me that I can't pay
Tear gas and sirens, but I can't stray
When occupy hit the streets of The Bay
It got real to me

Don't let the real cause disappear
Success is so far, realize that doom is near
If we don't hit the bulls-eye we won't sustain
From Wallstreet to Egypt to Oakland to Spain
You asked for change.
