Your answer determines the outcome

1. How many times must you prove yourself
to get respect from others?
Answer how many times must you say no thanks
to some demand made on you?
Answer how many battles must you fight all alone
so you can just be yourself?

Chorus
Your answer my friend determines the outcome,
Your answer determines the outcome.

2. How many years can this greed reign supreme
in this our blessed U. S. A?
Answer how many years can the poor be denied
food, clothes, a roof and safety?
Answer how many years must the rich get richer
and poor get poorer and poorer?

3. We occupy, We are ninety-nine
percent Wall Street Extended
Asnwer how many here will remain steadfast
until justice is achieved?
Answer how many here are ready to take back,
take back your inheritance?

This is my America, too ... and yours

1. This is my America too.
I will not be silent and stand idly by
when America is under siege by some
Americans who work day and night
to deny freedom and justice for all
Americans.

Refrain
So let the words go forth, I will not
surrender to fiendish ideologues now
or tomorrow who feign being patriotic
Americans while questioning my
patriotism. This is my America too.

2. This is my America too.
And I want the fiendish ideologues to
know America is worth fighting for
and I am willing and ready to fight to
extend freedom and justice for all
Americans.
