Protesters come in all shapes and sizes, but the Occupy Wall St protesters around the country have been overwhelmingly young. This is my tribute to these heroes. Song by The Replacements.

God, what a mess, on the ladder of success
Where you take one step and miss the whole first rung
Dreams unfulfilled, graduate unskilled
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten

We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons

Clean your baby womb, trash that baby boom
Elvis in the ground, there'll ain't no beer tonight
Income tax deduction, what a hell of a function
It beats pickin' cotton and waitin' to be forgotten

We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
We are the sons of no one, bastards of young
The daughters and the sons

Unwillingness to claim us, ya got no war to name us

The ones who love us best are the ones we'll lay to rest
And visit their graves on holidays at best
The ones who love us least are the ones we'll die to please
If it's any consolation, I don't begin to understand them

  • The heroes are overseas, you fucking moron. These "young people" are just part of the misguided youth of America. When they grow up, they might just be able to understand one day. Unless of course, those liberal art degrees and GED's can't land them a job and they keep the same message their whole lives. Which I suppose is actually more conceivable than not.

  • @phillipsgaige HA! My first Troll!

  • Good video. You don't mind if we use it for the livestream, do you?

    My only complaint is that you cut off the music right as it gets to my favorite verse. "the ones who love us least, are the ones we'll die to please.. Can you re-edit it? Look me up @ Whomod theMod over on FB. I just posted the video on my wall.

  • these cheezy tea party videos are, well, cheezy!

  • How are the people overseas heroes when they are killing innocent civilians? They're being terrorists! Our government is a world police of terrorism! Wake teh fuck up, phillipsgaige!

  • It's the young people's future that is at stake. Naturally, they have to fight for it.
