The Dream we are A'Savin' 11/17/2011

To the tune of The Times They are A-Changin’ by Bob Dylan, 1963


Come 99%ers
Wherever you roam.
We’ll make the streets
Of NY our home.
Set up your tents
We’ll never go home
And there’s no need for ever bathin.’
We’ll chant and pound drums, update aps on our phone
For the Dream we are a savin’

We have no agenda
Except to complain.
My Cannondale Carbon’s
Gettin’ wet in the rain.
Paying back ed loans
Is no way to gain.
Chase Bank tellers we are a bargin’
Takin’ care of myself is simply a pain
For the Dream we are a savin’

The American Dream
Was destroyed by rich creeps
We’ll take our fair share
From the corporate veeps
To show we are right
We’ll shit in your streets.
Politicians! We are a ragin’
There’s no ATM within 50 feet!?
For the Dream we are a savin”

Come Wall Street bankers
Your interest is due.
No more funding bad loans
No more bailouts for you.
The politicians you buy
Say they’re ours now, too.
Human microphones we have a wailin.’
Occupy T-shirts are only $10.52
And the Dream we are a savin’

The rich day’s are numbered
Count your money once more.
1%ers aren’t welcome
Except Michael Moore,
Rosanne Barr, Richard Trumka,
Cornel West and Al Gore.
With the socialist unions engagin’
Get rich by pandering hope to the poor.
And the Dream we are a savin’

Come capitalist pigs
And give up your rule
We should run the whole world
‘Cause we went to school.
We know what’s best
For the rest are just fools.
My cell phone’s in need of a chargin’
Starbucks and Apple are exempt ‘cause they’re cool.
For the Dream we are a savin’

The middle class is hurt
Looks like we’ve lost all hope
The Benz needs tires
Gonna sell the new boat.
Vacations to Bonaire
Are now to New Hope
The investments are really tankin’
But Lenny’s tent next door has outrageous dope.
For the Dream we are a savin’

It’s too cold to be naked
They want us out fast
The slow ones now
Will get kicked in the ass,
Pushed back, batoned,
And blasted with gas.
It’s home to Mom, to find some safe haven.
Water canons providing us showers at last.
For the Dream we are a savin’
