In honor of and in solidarity with #OccupyOakland, #OccupyTogether, #OccupyWallStreet and all of the many other occupy groups around the world, our band is offering up this unmixed, unmastered and unreleased recent recording we made in August 2011.
It goes out as a nod to all of the valiant protesters involved in this movement... to all of those organizing on the front lines of this struggle.
From our upcoming 2012 cover album, "Theft", the song was originally written by Woody Guthrie in 1940 as a anti-union busting song. It was then updated wonderfully in 2000 by Billy Bragg.
In the folk tradition, Bobby Joe Ebola and the Children MacNuggits have added new and appropriate lyrics about corporate hegemony, billionaires and other modern world ails.

Of course they don't own the water. They just pollute it.
But, really, do they owe us a living?
