Occupy Wall Street - We Are the 99% - Jeremy Gilchrist Original Music - Photo Montage Version

This video features my original song "We Are the 99%" to pictures from NY and the Occupy Wall Street protests. This features better volume then the original video in terms of sound. Lyrics below:

They can take our money
They can take our homes
They can steal the future
Mortage our souls

Occupy the politicians mind
Buy the truth and sell us lies

But there's a rising on wall street
I am you and you are me
We are the 99%'ers
On the right side of love and history

It's hard to say where it went wrong
Decades before me and this song
Through the banksters and the wars
You know I just can't take it anymore

There's a rising on wall street
I am you and you are me
We are the 99%'ers
On the right side of love and history

Occupy=filthy vermin

[Jeremy Gilchrist]

Go on supporting corporate greed and corporate controlled government. Go on supporting the banksters and mortage fraud. Keep shopping everything is fine.

[brocoli306]

The 99%'s please.You went along with their crimes as long as they paid the checks.That pretty much puts you on the wrong side of history, and no amount of folksy singing is going to buy your souls back imho,

[Jeremy Gilchrist]

LOL are you sure about that? Most never even knew the crimes were taking place until they were already committed. By then it was too late. I don't feel asking for accountability for those responsible is too much to ask. I feel my soul is very much in tact as I was wondering where these demonstrations were from the time the 2008 bailouts were announced. The Justice Department used "prosecutorial discretion" to let the banksters get away with the fraud committed.

[Stew501187]

I'm a 24 year old Army soldier. I VOLUNTEERED to deploy to a foreign country so I could afford to support my family. I HAVE NOT BEEN PAID TWICE because the GOVT decided the soldiers (who already live check to check) would be ok waiting to get paid. If not for USAA (An amazing bank WHO PAID US INSTEAD OF THE GOVT!!) I would have screwed my credit even more. My wife and I can't afford a house, we live with my dad now. I fear I wont find work when I come home.

I AM THE 99%

There is serious corruption in this country, but you morons don't realize that you're being backed by the very ones who are robbing us. You'll all see, in time.
