Daniel Brouse, Songwriter, writes the song *Witch Which* at Occupy Philadelphia
Writing the song at City Hall, Broad and Market, Philadelphia, PA

Did you sleep through the alarm?
Were you anticipating
No Harm?
The world transpiring
While you control
The switch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the witch

You didn’t move
You didn’t twitch
You didn’t love
You’re the which

bookmark_borderSeparation Of State

As the scene
Washes clean
The line between mean
Seems to fade away

A separation
Of a state of mind
When mankind
Forgets being kind

Please don’t separate your state
From reality
Before it’s too late
Please don’t separate your state
From poverty
To where compassion has no fashion

Dm
play intro as broken chord notes G B F, G D F, A D F

Protesters at City Hall Philadephia
In search of logical arguments

Misinformed with deformed information
No credible info in what you state
Why not illuminate?
Something bright to shed light
Forget berate
Let’s educate
Yes to education
Yes to legalization
Yes to minimization of regulation
Yes to realization of an idea notion
Yes to realization of an idea nation

Writing a song in favor of the Federal Reserve Bank

aka <3 The Federal Reserve I'm fed up with people Bashing the Fed Especially, when there is no logic To what they've said [caption id="attachment_832" align="alignright" width="300" caption="The Fed Helps Poor People"]Love the Federal Reserve Bank Protest Poster[/caption]

A medium of exchange
That helps all…
More often then not,
Poverty is brought to change —
Change from change

There is nothing evil with our central bank…
Rather someone we should thank

Is that your wish?
Would you rather barter with a 3-day-old fish?

It must have been
An Act Of God
Mixed together
With Human
Heavens nod
An *Act Of God*

Most everything
Man did
Destroy ourselves
Destroy our city
Forever wallowing
In self-pity
Forever swallowing
Our own tail
Forever swallowing

Daniel Brouse Philadelphia Songwriter
Writing the song Todays over Interstate 95 at South Street and Penns Landing

In the yesterdays
There are ways
To consider them good
But, while there’s todays
Great we would

Great to be free

Of Soulitary confinement
Excellently
Don’t want to reach
Contentment
Don’t want a speech
On resentment

Got all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees
Enough of the greed
Filled all our needs
Need no more than
The birds and bees

bookmark_borderRoadtest For A Protest

Over the last couple days I have been investigating protests including Occupy Wall Street. While playing a music festival in Atlantic City, I came across a protest against Resorts Casino. Sorry to say, both of these protests wrongly attack businesses. In the case of Resorts, the original company could no longer afford to stay open and sold the assets. The new Resorts did not need to keep employing union workers, but they did. Now, these workers are mistakenly protesting against the old Resorts in front of the new Resorts.

The Oldest Protester
The oldest protester on the boardwalk in front of Resorts Casino

C C7 Dm

Roadtest
For a protest
Unite fear
Unite here
Thwart support
Their last Resort
Walk the boardwalk
Rock the boardroom
Viva La Beg Us
CastAssIno
Gamble with tomorrow
Hedge the risk ensuring bliss
Showgirls show girls
No contract. No peace.
No contact. No piece.

If you think you’re stuck
Between a rock and a hard place
Retrace
The steps of your future
To see how you make it out

It’s far-out
How you can see
What steps to take
There’s no doubt
You can get free
Make what you make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it
All depends
What we make
Of it

Create the flow… go!

Capo 3
A string play D
Add pinky high A

Spewing goo
Hatred anew
Is that what I want to do?

Don’t become that
Which I despise
Less sober
More Wise
Don’t become that
Which I despise

I try to realize
When it’s all over
… rather remain
Love and the same

These songs are about 2 girls I met on the streets of West Chester. They like to tell incredible tales and gather a crowd of interesting characters. Season told me she is a gypsy because she has yellow in her eye.
