We Stand As One chords by Joseph Arthur

A
We occupy wall street
E
Take back our soul
D
Take back our country
A
Take back control
A
Take back our health care
E
Take back our mind
D
Take back our freedom
A

Give up the grind
A
We occupy wall street
E
No more fear
D
No more acceptance

Of insanity's sneer
A
No more division
E
No more restraint

Our canvas is freedom
A
Your blood is our paint

We stand as one


Verse 2:
A
You who have robbed us
E
You who have lied
D
You who were greedy
A
While the needy ones died
A
You who believed
E
You were better than them
D
Who sat in the flower
A
Ignoring the stem
A
You who denied them
E
Doctors and care
D
Humanity's basics
A
As if death were their share
A
You who denied
E
The struggles of most
D
Like a pig you consumed
A
And like a pig you will roast


Chorus:
E  D        A
We stand as one

Verse 3:
A
We occupy wall street
E
The system has failed
D
As the innocent ones
A
Are beat down and jailed
A
The criminal minds
E
Have stolen this land
D
By taking our freedom
A
And binding our hand
A
To the cuff of misfortune
E
To the cuff of our need
D
To the cuff of self pity
A
To the cuff of a seed
A
Lost in the desert
E
No chance to survive
D
No love to nurture
A
No water to thrive


Chorus:
E  D        A
We stand as one


Verse 4:
A
A season of murder
E
The body and soul
D
Dreams being shattered
A
The damnation control
A
Give back our country
E
We come to defend
D
Our right to inspire
A
To love and befriend
A
Our right to be healthy
E
Our right to believe
D
In a country of equals
A
Of a chance to receive
A
A chance to develop
E
A chance to forgive
D
A chance to dignify
A
The way that we live

E  D        A
We stand as one

Verse 5:
A
A chance education
E
A chance to secure
D
A place for our families
A
Our right to a cure
A
The disease is insane
E
The disease is just greed
D
The disease is your pain
A
Ignoring their need
A
The disease is your reason
E
Your will is unchecked
D
But the blood is all over
A
The lives you have wrecked
A
But blessed are the meek
E
For we stand as one
D
We stand against
A
The crimes you have done


Chorus:
E  D        A
We stand as one


Verse 6:
A
We stand against
E
Your desire for more
D
Hear how we knock
A
Soon there won't be a door
A
And what you won't share
E
Will be ripped from your hands
D
Your body destroyed
A
The way fire lands
A
Burning your homes
E
The privilege you snake
D
The payback beyond
A
Anything you could take
A
Naked you'll be
E
And full of regret
D
And the way they were treated
A
You'll long to forget


Chorus:
E  D        A
We stand as one


Verse 7:
A
You'll wish you could go back
E
And undo whats been done
D
You'll wish you were never
A
Insanity's son
A
You'll wish you were fair
E
You'll wish for compassion
D
But it will be late
A
And long out of fashion
A
Strung up you'll bleed
E
Like the pig you became
D
A symbol of hatred
A
And one with no name
A
And our country will come back
E
Belonging to us
D
Regain it's spirit
A
Regain our trust


Chorus:
E  D        A
We stand as one


Verse 8:
A
Regain it's standing
E
Regain the world
D
The dream of our fathers
A
A new and bold world
A
Where people have chance
E
And can live with respect
D
And people can dance
A
Beyond their neglect
A
Where health is a right
E
And education within
D
The grasp of the poor
A
Who may still one day win
A
We occupy wall street
E
So that we may begin
D
To live in a country
A
Of freedom again


Chorus:
E  D        A
We stand as one
