REVOLT

I stand still as my heart speeds up, I'm Wayne Gretzky and she's my Cup.
She's called freedom and she's my prize,
Lets come together, let'em hear our cries!

We revolt for the ninety-nine
To get this country back in line!
we sat still for way too long,
So lets stand up and sing along.

I hear Exxon's now a person.
Lets give credit where credit's due.
If I must pay thirty-five in taxes,
then Exxon Mobile should pay it too!

Occupy is the Freedom Corps!
We fight for justice and nothing more! Will my country catch my fall, Or let me hit the concrete wall?

We revolt for the ninety-nine
To get this country back in line!
we sat still for way too long,
So lets stand up and sing along.

My tooth is rotting, but my loans are due, should I bite the throb, or let them accrue? I can fast for weeks but I need my home, Repossess my pain, and leave me alone!

I'm an architect major with a PHD. But I mop floors to pay off my degree. You can take that paper if you take my debt. Things I've learned I will not forget.

Invest in jobs and our healthcare too, Tax the rest like you tax the few. We are the people, and we will rejoice, when you fight for our justice and hear our voice.

That's awesome. Can you help with this.

Need help making a t-shirt. We need to draw a picture of Zooccotti Park with a cage around it. Here are some ideas: Draw a hippie climbing the cage like a monkey and throwing shit.
Draw a hippie rolling in mud and shit like a pig.
Draw a hippies fucking like dogs.
Draw a picture of a hippie eating peanuts like a big fucking elephant. Draw a hippie as a lazy fucking Ape doing nothing.

I'd rather draw you in a straitjacket instead.

Lol, yeah. That guy seems to be the most active on this forum, for an anti it seems quite deranged to spend so much time here.
