WE'RE OCCUPYING WALL STREET

Chorus

We're occupying Wall Street
and we are not alone;
they took away our paychecks,
they took away our homes;
we're earned our bread and butter
and they give us chicken bones;
Wall Street, we're not going home.

First Stanza

I worked my entire life
and I have a son;
Wall Street took my job away
now he's the only one--
I pleaded, Son, help me,
they're turning off the lights--
Wall Street, that isn't right.

Repeat Chorus

Second Stanza

We bailed you out with money
that was difficult to earn--
You paid yourselves big bonuses
that make the decent squirm--
We're not jealous, oligarchs,
it's OK that you're rich,
we just want some fairness, a house and not a ditch--

Repeat Chorus

Third Stanza

Wall Street has been cheating us
but we have not lost hope;
our message to the people is:
STAND UP AND TAKE NOTE:
Cheaters won't be cheating us
if all the cheated vote--
Wall Street, we can't go home.

Repeat Chorus
