We Are Everywhere - David Rovics

When I say the hungry should have food

I speak for many

When I say no one should have seven homes

While some don’t have any

Though I may find myself stranded in some strange place

With naught but a vapid stare

I remember the world and I know

We are everywhere

When I say the time for the rich, it will come

Let me count the ways

Victories or hints of the future

Havana, Caracas, Chiapas, Buenos Aires

How many people are wanting and waiting

And fighting for their share

They hide in their ivory towers

But we are everywhere

Religions and prisons and races

Borders and nations

FBI agents and congressmen

And corporate radio stations

They try to keep us apart, but we find each other

And the rulers are always aware

That they’re a tiny minority

And we are everywhere

With every bomb that they drop, every home they destroy

Every land they invade

Comes a new generation from under the rubble

Saying «we are not afraid»

They will pretend we are few

But with each child that a billion mothers bear

Comes the next demonstration

That we are everywhere.
