This content is user submitted and not an official statement
found this on youtube and thought, this could be a good theme song:
In stead of brief news coverage of waving signs followed
by talking heads, image the video coverage of
demonstrators united – Singing together – this popular song!
If you have any doubts, watch the
PBS Les Mis 25th anniversary special
Les Miserables: DO YOU HEAR THE PEOPLE SING?
Lines modified from the original original lines
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of working men?………Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
We must take our nation back………….Singing a song of angry men?
from the greedy millionaires…………Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
To restart our democracy…………That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of working men?…..Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our people may advance……….So that our banner may advance
A nation of working men -…………..Some will fall and some will live
not the corporate elite…………….Will you stand up and take your chance?
United we must stand……………The blood of the martyrs
only together we can win!……….Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing a song of working men?…….Singing a song of angry men?
It is the music of a people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Thank you for this. I'd like to share a song called "I'm With You". I did not write or create this, but I think it sums up the movement perfectly.

" Hey, Hey we're the Monkees " would be more appropriate
