Occupy Our Streets

The beginning is near and the end is far gone
but we will keep marching in the sun and the rain.
How long must we wait for success to trickle down
after working with faith for our slice of the pie.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
When the banks got bailed out for gambling our homes
we got sold out because they were too big to fail.
We played by the rules but the game was rigged to lose
now one percent are rich from the sweat of our hands.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
When the gangsters in government borrow and spend
they leave us in debt after they profit from war.
They call it good business when the rich rob the poor
but send police to beat us when the poor fight back.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
They may arrest one of us but two more appear
leaving behind homes and jobs we already lost.
Though first they ignore us and soon they laugh at us
then they will fight us but by justice we will win.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
Our new revolution will not be privatized
for the corrupt fear us and the honest support us.
The suffering of injustice is not televised
when you dollar-bill my mouth to silence my voice.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
The corporate king who stole three billion dollars laughs
jailed for three years with a television and golf course.
The man who stole a hundred dollars to feed his kids
slaves in prison making computers fifty years.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
The power of the people who speak with one voice
is stronger than the people in power who cheat.
I will never believe corporations are people
until Texas executes one for social theft.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
Our beginning is near because your end has come
as we rewrite social rules for all to play fair.
When every person profits from work of their hands
our faith in each other creates real paradise.
Our American Dream has been bought and sold
so ninety-nine percent now occupy our streets.
