I am JJ3 I wrote lyrics that inspired this video. Find them below.
This is some great video footage of the occupation movement with a rocking soundtrack created by my youtube friend Anonymous Expressions http://www.youtube.com/anonymousexpressions - video creator
http://www.youtube.com/jenklefritz - lyric writer of the 99%

Hourly wage workers of the world unite,
Rise from your desks, stand up and fight,
The powers that be, the powers that were,
How many times will you say yes sir?
A hundred times, a thousand times, a million times or more?

Will you still be kissing ass when they're kicking in your door?
Are you considered second class, because they're rich and you are poor?
I don't believe in class divides, but if money keeps the score,
When that divide gets large enough, then you know it's time for a classy war.
Because every revolution begins with a chant,
Why do they have everything I'm feeling that I can't?
The fantasy of freedom for each and every ant.
I know I'll never be a successful sycophant,
So instead I'll be the voice and find a purpose for my rant-

Yes, I am the voice of the occupation movement,
You have a choice you can help us make improvements.
Or you can ignore what the future has in store...
Ignorance is bliss until destruction's at your door.

I am the voice of the ninety nine percent,
Wondering where the hell the economic profits went,
The people with the power complain for heaven's sake,
If the poor people are hungry then let them all eat cake.

I am the voice of the baby that was just born,
Into a world where the social safety net is torn,
The richest ones must learn, to let the others have a turn,
They must learn how to share before it all begins to burn.

I am the voice of the teachers that we can't afford,
The unemployed, the students on whom debt is poured,
I am the voice of the 99 percent,
Wondering where the hell the greatness of our nation went.

I am the voice of the one's who came before us,
Three million years man's been part of nature's chorus,
Obeying nature's laws evolution helped us solve,
The mystery of mankind as we continued to evolve

I am the voice of a planet paralyzed by
Destructive policies, veiled behind financial lies,
It seems that as we grow there's no need to be foes.
To the only home we have, can we change? God only knows.

CHORUS
Cause, right now we stand at the precipice,
Who would have thought it would come to this?
We have to change, we can't procrastinate,
Or one day we'll look around and realize it's too late.
Perhaps that day has passed perhaps it's yesterday,
Perhaps that's why distractions are the only way,
A multitude of people make it through the day.
Is it wrong of me to think that's there's a better way?

  • See there you go we are a Republic they want to change that .

  • @edleew We are a republic, that is true, we are a democratic republic. It's not about class envy it's about the whole system being rigged to gradually make it harder and harder for people to rise up to a higher class. It is becoming an aristocracy where the rich are becoming the nobility and they are implementing policies to make sure that they stay at the top. They have every advantage, especially when they can afford the best education for their children and the rest cannot.

  • I'm a 3%er

    

  • @909prepper Ok then, thanks for watching and commenting.
