Occupy Wall Street song
No It's Not OK
Well you work all your life just to make ends meet
Forget about a pension or Social Security
You'll be working until you're eighty
That's downward mobility
No It's not OK
There's a better way
People lead the way
And we won't stop at Wall Street
The game is stacked in the one percent's favor
And we the ninety-nine are not allowed at the table
The GDP says wealth is being created
But it floats up to the top away from those who generate it
No It's not OK
There's a better way
People lead the way
And we won't stop at Wall Street
They know that to conquer they must first divide
So they stoke up discontentment against those who are unionized
Who have nice pensions and sane working hours too
But instead of tearing them down why not build up you and me?
Because you deserve the same things for your labor
And the ninety-nine percent are your friends and your neighbors
No It's not OK
There's a better way
People lead the way
And we won't stop at Wall Street
We don't want a handout we just want what we've earned
And a fair shake for those who have been so badly burned
Holding criminals responsible, what could be more mainstream?
It's time to stop the theft of the American Dream
No It's not OK
There's a better way
People lead the way
And we won't stop at Wall Street
