This a nice album song ... might be difficult to have commercial potential on it's own

Good topical song on a current topic; reminds me of Neil Young. (Keep On Rockin' in the Free World; Hey Hey My My)

Occupy
Copyright Tom & Mary Erangey
January 2012
The land of the plenty is owned by the few
At the hungry bottom are the multitudes
Wanna shatter some glass and kick down some doors
It's time to act, I can't take this no more
CHORUS:
It's not the end, It's a start...A beginning
We'll know when we've won when we see them cry....Like a baby
Oh how I want to watch them cry
Until then, we occupy...
Until then, we occupy
In God we trust, not in man
Dollar is mightier than the pen
The problem with greed, is greed
If you like to steal you can work on Wall Street
CHORUS:
It's not the end, It's a start...A beginning
We'll know when we've won when we see them cry....Like a baby
Oh how I want to watch them cry
Until then, we occupy...
Until then, we occupy
CHANGE-UP:
Seven billion on their knees, asking pretty please
We won't take this anymore, we're standing up
You can join us if you like, no matter who you are
It's only a few that need to cry
It's only a few that need to cry
Until then, we occupy
Until then, we occupy
Until then, let's occupy
