Third Eye Blind Releases Occupy Wall Street Anthem

Around the world, the Occupy Wall Street movement can be seen in major cities where protesters have set up camps.  Third Eye Blind has released the single, “If There Ever Was a Time” to show their support.  As lead singer Stephen Jenkins explains:  "I think college students are going to come to terms with the unfairness of student loans, the hallowing out of jobs from finance based capitalism, and the depletion of public wealth. When you take money out of politics, which is what Occupy Wall Street is about for me, you reverse these trends. This song is meant to encourage their participation. I hope we flood this movement with music."

Read the lyrics to “If There Ever Was a Time”:

if there ever was a time, it would be now is all I'm saying if there ever was a time to get on your feet and take it to the street cause you're the one who's getting played right now by the game they're playing come on meet me down at Zuccotti park

oh where are the youth, we need you now

come speak the truth, come break it down

where are the youth, we need you now

if there ever was a time, it would be now

to make the masters hear this

if there ever was a time to get downtown

and get non violent and fearless

things only get brighter when you light a spark

everywhere you go right now is Zuccotti park

and news corps says you don't have a plan

well sit down man, i'll tell you again

the plan's to stand together up to greed

and a tear gas can in a veteran's face

won't change the case

(chorus)

if there ever was a time, it would be now

for the rest of us

if there ever was a time it would be now

cause money and power are incestuous

a moment makes a movement

or it fades out in the dark

come on meet me down at Zuccotti park

and i saw a sign in the oakland spring

it said "occupy everything!"

or by and for and off won't mean a thing
