Occupy America

Sleeping in zucotti park
Crowds get thinner after dark
Employment picture, pretty stark
Won't bite yet, but we will bark

A job could occupy our time
Wouldn't carry this worn sign
Says yours is yours and so is mine
Keep us off of the bread line

Sandwich, coffee fuel our rage
Law enforcement may engage
Let us on the global stage
We are history's next page

In the bowels of the Street
Market makers trade deceit
Designer suit and polished feet
1% ain't got us beat

America, you've not grown stale
Invest in us, it won't be bail
The right idea, the higher trail
Together we're too big to fail

Jobs at home and not abroad
Regressive tax rates are a fraud
Campaign finance overboard
Public trust to be restored

If 99% are right
The 1% best see the light
We won't depart from mind or sight
Sometimes a hungry dog can bite
