lyrics

OCCUPY YOURSELF
By Mychael John Thomas

This ain’t the sixties…it ain’t no Woodstock
Just bitchin’ so you get it on the news
It looks to me like just another angry mob
Sooner or later everybody’s gotta choose

CHORUS
‘Cause when it’s done only one thing left
You only got the power to occupy yourself

I’ve seen it all since I was just a young buck
People screamin’ ‘bout money ‘bout war
But politics still the same and it really sucks
Do you know what you’re fighting for?

CHORUS

BRIDGE
You get angry ‘cause you’ve got no control
See it like it is find peace for you soul
Just live your life that’s all you can do
‘Cause ain’t nothin’ gonna change but you

You got complaints…but do you have an answer?
If you tear it down can you build somthin’ back?
You better think about what you’re really after
Before you go off leading the attack

CHORUS
TAG
When you find only time gonna tell
You only got the power to occupy yourself
