about

Written for all the people who say "you can't do that" and all the other people who say "yes, we can."

lyrics

we got enough wealth
to spread it around
so everybody swims
and nobody drowns

there’s too many people
livin’ out on the street
they need homes
they need food to eat

we need water
we need clean air
we need jobs
we need health care

and it’s not just me
and it’s not just you
it’s all of us (x2)

you take the stolen money
out from under their thumb
give it back to the people
that they stole it from

you cut the military budget
till it’s almost gone
you put the money in schools
and you can’t go wrong

we been doin’ it wrong
all along the line
so let’s do it right
this time

and it’s not just me
and it’s not just you
it’s all of us (x2)

(bridge)
we are greater than they
allow us to believe
we are genius
we are history to be
and they - they think their money holds the key
but we - we know the key is in the numbers of our solidarity

(Instrumental)

you can’t do it alone
don’t even try
you got to
organize

you’re dreamin’ a dream
and you’re makin’ it real
everybody’s got a shoulder
they can put to the wheel

and you can’t bet stopped
you’re bound to win
it’s a great big wheel comin’
round again

and it’s not just me
and it’s not just you
it’s all of us (x2)
