about

** The music video can be find here peopleunited.jtstune.com

This protest song is dedicated to the occupy movement or any person who stands up against oppression. It contains protest footage from all over the world in 2011.

I want nothing more than to inspire people to unite and take it to the streets (or dance in the street), and to inspire people who have already done that to keep doing what is right.

If this song or video inspires you, please spread it so it will inspire others. Thanks and solidarity.

Join the movement at your own city. www.occupytogether.org

Here's some history about this protest chant, "The people, united, will never be defeated!"

*** Lyrics ***

The people united will never be defeated. X 4

Our homes are taken.
Our bodies are shaken.
Our food is poison.
But our minds are awaken.

How long are you gonna watch this show?
How long are you gonna let this go?
With fire in your sky and wars on your kind,
And spy on your mind and you still stay blind.

Come on out. It's never too late.
Let's show them what we can create.
Clap your hands up in the air.
Sing it together, loud and clear.

The people united will never be defeated. X 4

Our brothers have died
Our TV is a lie
Our hands are tied
But our spirits are high

How long are you gonna take their blame?
How long are you gonna live in shame?
With blood on your street and tears on your cheek,
And chains on your feet and you still won't speak.

Come on out. It's your time.
Let's expose them to their crimes.
Join our hands. You're not alone.
Peace and love. Let it be known.

The people united will never be defeated. X 4

This is it, people. Let's take it to the streets.
The world is waiting for us.
Bring your family, your friends, and your neighbors.
Let's do this one more time. Let's go!

The people united will never be defeated. X 4

The people united will never be defeated. X 4

There may come a time
when you are abandoned
by the very system
that you've helped to build.
But as long as the people are united,
we can build a new one,
again and again.

The people united will never be defeated. X 4
