Final Version of “Expect Us” – My Theme for The Occupy Movement and Anonymous

EXPECT US

This is over two months in the making.

Anonymous is what/who inspired me to become involved in the Occupy Movement. This song was written just after September 17th.

Thanks to the awesome Steve Onanis for production, drums, keyboards, getting Tim Sanchez to play Hofner Bass, and additional guitar. (And Thanks Tim! 🙂

Main guitar and all vocals: Lisa Rein

Thanks to George Kelly for helping me develop the original version of this song into its final version 🙂 And for helping me record a version early on when it was fresh in my head, before I could get to a studio.

Music and Lyrics by Lisa Rein.

Lyrics

Time for a Reoccupation

Across the Nation

Reactivation of Peaceful Demonstration

Reoccupation Across the Nation

And Around the World

Around the World

You can Expect Us

Expect Us

Expect Us

It’s time to see what’s really going on.

We’re trying to tell you something; YOU ARE STRONG

And if we work together we can get things done

And make it fair for everyone

Time for a Reoccupation

Across the Nation

Reallocation of the financial situation

Reoccupation

Across the Nation

And Around the World

Around the World

You can Expect Us

Expect Us

Expect Us

Expect Us
