For the Police

Occupy

A slice of pie

A warm glass of milk

Given to a policeman on a cold night in Lon-don

And our revolution's getting un-done

And built up again

And the policeman is our friend

Our ally

As we've cried, they've also cried

They are workers as well

So please don't give them hell

These men and women in riot gear are so near

Because they are one of us

So there's no need to fuss

Over details because

These men and women in riot gear are on our side

As we stand outside

On the streets of New York, Cairo, Lon-don,

And other recent revolutions getting un-done,

They are helping us out

There's no need to shout

For you know that as soon as these men and women

Take off their badges and take off their shields

That they are workers like us and they will yield

To the protestors on the streets because

A couple feet away from us

Right Here

Right Now

Stand our brothers and sisters, hand in hand

We must work together or know the reason why.

We

(AS A WHOLE)

Must Occupy.
