If There Ever Was a Time Lyrics

If there ever was a time, it would be now
Is all I'm sayin'
If there ever was a time, to get on your feet
Take it to the street
Cause your the one that's getting played right now
By the game they're playing
Come on meet me down at Zuccotti Park
And say,
Oh where are the youth we need you now
Come speak the truth come break it down
Where are the youth we need you now

If there ever was a time, it would be now
To make the masters hear this
If there ever was a time to get downtown
And get non violent and fearless
Things only get brighter, when you light a spark
Everywhere you go right now is Zuccotti Park

And news corps says you don't have a plan
Well sit down man, I'll tell you again
The plans that stand together up to greed
And a tear gas can in a veteran's face
Won't change the case
Oh where are the youth we need you now
Come speak the truth come break it down
Where are the youth we need you now

If there ever was a time it would be now
For the rest of us
If there ever was a time it would be now
Because money and power incestuous
A moment makes a movement
Or it fades out in the dark
Come on, meet me down at Zuccotti Park
And I saw a sign in the Oakland Spring
It said: "Occupy everything"!
Or by and for and off won't mean a thing

Oh where are the youth we need you now
Come speak the truth come break it down
Where are the youth we need you now

If there ever was a time it would be now
Is all I'm saying
If there ever was a time to get on your feet
Take it to the street
Cause you're the one who's getting played right now
By the game they're playing
Come on meet me down at Zuccotti Park
Come on meet me down at Zuccotti Park
Come on meet me down at Zuccotti Park
