This song was inspired by the occupy wall street movement. It was written, recorded and mixed in about 16 hour, in which time I also made the video. I rushed to get it published because of the upcoming October 15th world wide protest. Please share as much as possible!
The movement can be sumerised as follows: "the one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%"

Just to be clear, the line about Wall street burning is figurative. As far as I am concerned anyone committing any act of violence at these happenings is more than likely part of the 1%.

History is in the making, will you be on the right side of it?

Lyrics:

We are the 99%

We are the 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%
We no longer accept the fact that our leaders are bought by the corporations and the banks

There's a real revolution going down
The tide is turning
It's evolution from the ground up
And Wall street's burning

The Wall street occupation by the people for the people is history in the making
As people wake up and realise that the banks aren't giving, they're only taking

There's a real revolution going down
The tide is turning
It's evolution from the ground up
And Wall street's burning

Thanks to Frank Andersen for the support and for the help with the video http://zatori.net

  • john lennon would be proud on a song like this. it's great!

  • @jeepeeaero ...as compliments go that's about as good as it gets! Thanks a lot :-)

  • What if Anonymous suddenly appeared to turn militant and false flag bombs start going off? Would you know who to speak to and ask them to stop?

    Great song!

  • @HumanSayNo Thanks for your support. I'm not sure what to make of Anonymouus. At first look they seem well intendeded but by their very nature it is difficult to look below the surface. As I said in the video desciption I would consider anyone commiting acts of violence at these events as part of the problem.

  • This is terrific Steve !  I have sent this link to InfoWars - perhaps Alex Jones may be inspired to give this some air time as he and others attempt to Occupy The Fed.

    I encourage others to share this far and wide.

  • @DianeDi Thanks Diane :-)

  • @fatherofmy5 Thank you - I hope "occupylamedia" is listening, among others.

    It is gaining much media support,but let's all be very careful - because the word is - it is / has been infiltrated. A thinking mind should see beyond this and continue to peacefully promote the message. People need to stay true to the cause and that is to End The Fed and bring back the Glass–Steagall Act.
