lyrics

BOY

Hey old friend, they called me in the middle of the night
Your parents, panicked, crying, saying look at New York Times
They beat you and dragged you through city streets—tied you on the ground
Police baton above your head—your fist raised higher, proud

Boy, we’re on your side
We’ve seen worse—will we see better?
Boy they might break your stride
But we’ll get up all bruised and violet
Boy they’re taking names
They won’t get yours—they won’t get mine

Hey old friend, I heard your back there in Zuccotti Park
Camping, dancing, canvassing—our generations mark
Now, I’ll never see a more beautiful site, than that human chain
Hands and elbows, arms and legs, beneath the city’s towering frame

Boy, we’re on your side
We’ve seen worse—will we see better?
Boy they might break your stride
But we’ll get up all bruised and violet
Boy they’re taking names
They won’t get yours—they won’t get mine
