We need some bands to step up and sing for the cause.

We'll be fighting in the streets With our children at our feet And the morals that they worship will be gone And the men who spurred us on Sit in judgment of all wrong They decide and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again

Change it had to come We knew it all along We were liberated from the fall that's all But the world looks just the same And history ain't changed 'Cause the banners, they all flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday And I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no!

I'll move myself and my family aside If we happen to be left half alive I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky For I know that the hypnotized never lie

Do ya?

There's nothing in the street Looks any different to me And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye And the parting on the left Is now the parting on the right And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution Take a bow for the new revolution Smile and grin at the change all around me Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday Then I'll get on my knees and pray We don't get fooled again Don't get fooled again No, no!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

Meet the new boss Same as the old boss

I'm considering putting a song together for the movement, but I work sorta slow. :( If I had the money, I'd love to fly to New York and actually film a music video during a protest march.

I do have a electronic rap track I wrote that was inspired by the hacktivism of Anonymous, which sort of applies to all of this (the mentioning of Molotov cocktails is purely metaphorical).

Thanks. I'm just an observer, inspired by their activism through technology.

I agree. We also need to occupy Toshiba!

what is this with toshiba?

Toshiba is the world's worst company. They are the most corrupt bunch of bastards the world has ever known. OWS was started because of companies like Toshiba! Here's the proof:

Toshiba sucks! Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. Digital Products Division 9740 Irvine Boulevard Irvine, CA 92618-1697 1-949-583-3000

They had a heavy hand in Japan's nuclear accident. It's only a matter of time before Japan's nuclear waste affects Americans.

They sold U.S. military secrets to the Russians.

And Toshiba is giving the folks the shaft!

I do not own or buy any products by them, and I will continue not to now...

I cannot thank you enough.
