My Occupy Wall Street song "No It's Not OK" - now with new & improved lyrics for 2012! http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spectacular-Fool/310084569031159?sk=app_2405167945
No, It's Not OK You work all your life just to make ends meet Forget about a pension and Social Security You’ll be working until you’re eighty - that’s downward mobility No, it’s not OK There’s a better way People - lead the way And we won't stop at Wall Street
The game is stacked in the 1%’s favor And we the 99 are not allowed at the table Well the GDP says that there is wealth being created But it floats to the top away from those who generate it
No, it’s not OK There’s a better way People - lead the way And we won't stop at Wall Street They know that to conquer they must first divide So they stoke up discontentment with those who are unionized Who've got nice pensions and sane working hours too But instead of tearing them down why not build up me and you? Because you deserve the same things for your labor And the 99% are your friends and neighbors
No, it’s not OK There’s a better way People - lead the way And we won't stop at Wall Street
We don’t want a handout we just want what we’ve earned And a fair shake for those who have been so badly burned Holding criminals responsible: what could be more mainstream? It’s time to stop the theft of the American Dream
