Occupy America 99% Song ~ Golden Parachute for Christmas

A new Christmas song for everyone who is affected by our greedy, corrupt economy.

This song protests the recent 700 billion dollar bank bailouts and empathizes with the poor and the middle class who are suffering by the loss of their homes due to foreclosure.

Written and sung by Andrew Kong Knight of the Angry Tired Teachers.

"Golden Parachute for Christmas" Lyrics:

Verse:

Don't steal 'cause the government don't need the competition
They bail themselves out, but who's gonna bail out me?
Our ship is sinking, first save the rich, the powerful
You just can't get on the life raft for free

Chorus:

I lost my home, I'm bankrupt bound
Ain't no golden parachute for Christmas
As I hit the ground

Verse 2:

I signed a toxic loan then the bubble burst in my face
(Toss me a lifeline)
I tried to sell, but it was too late
(Toss me a lifeline)
Even my short sale got lost in the red tape
(Toss me a lifeline)
Now the bank owns my home, my very soul

Chorus:

I lost my home, I'm bankrupt bound
Ain't no golden parachute for Christmas
As I hit the ground

Bridge:

It's a no down, low down, ruin your life offer
For you, for me, by our greedy economy (repeat)

Threw away my lifeline, our greedy economy
Threw away a dream of a lifetime, our greedy economy
Threw away my lifeline, our greedy economy
Threw away a dream of a lifetime, our greedy economy


I lost my house today
