We’ve entered an age
In need of our sage
From the year nothing
Spring…
To be our savior
Bringing blankets to the shivering
Bringing food to those hungering
Medical attention to any needing aiding
We pray
Please don’t take that away
With love and rage
Occupy the savage age
X’s and O’s
The hero from year zero
Heart And Soul?
What happens when the heart is ripped from the soul? What happens when the soul is ripped from the heart? This song is about exodus of the music committee from Occupy Philly.
LYRICS
Whirring of the whirlybird
Overhead
Bringing on fear…
Dread
Rumors, gossip…
Over what’s been said
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Waiting for an onslaught of the assault cop
Gone to hell
All that’s left…
A shell
Heart ripped from soul
Soul ripped from heart
Twisted
Torn apart
What’s the toll of your goal
Resisted
A fresh start
Press the press
For nothing less
Than the truth
Press the press’s button
To turn on
The wisdom tooth
To turn off
The aloof
Are those in P.R.
Really that far
From reality of disparity
Disparity of sincerity
The rarity of ability
To annunciate their state
Seek their fate
Baa check
Baaaaaa
Blah check
Blaaaaaah
Wear a funny hat
Wear a funny heart
Wear a funky charm
Stand on stage
Rage
For authority
In hypocrisy
Of our age
Bringing harm
Instead of help
False alarm yelp
How can you hoard
When you’re homeless
You’re never board with Earth
When Earth’s your nest
Trying to find the ends
To make ends meet
Thank God, Mother Nature lends
Shelter, drink and something to eat
That’s good… Mother Nature sends
Why do humans hoard
When they need less
Squirrel away for their rainy day
Creating a mess
For those with less
No measure of success
Comparing oneself to the homeless
No measure of success
Compared to worthless
This song is dedicated to Rob, Alix, Gandolf and especially N.A. Poe:
I wanna start a fracking chicken franchise
Where we frack chicks for everyone
A fracking chicken franchise
In every Occupy
To supply
Jobs for all
Enough with the GA
And, how they say
“Which came first
The chicken or the egg?”
Frack putting the round hole
Around the square peg
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To try n’ hide
From the ridiculous side
Of the mob slob
Instead, let us be fed
With frackin’ chicken
The Frackin’ Chicken Franchised
Just, trademarked
Over a foul remark
Meant to cause ill will
Still, we will not run a fowl…
Now, Kentucky Fried Chicken
Is mighty fine
But, all I ask is to dine…
With Frackin’ Chicken so sublime
Enough of the straw-poul…treeeee
God, help me
A frackin’ chicken franchise
In every Occupy
Will supply
’till the day we die
*repeat*
About This Song
It is about the Occupy Occupy Movement. Those people who think that Occupy Philly needs to be occupied have now protested the protest with their occupation 🙂
Written at Occupy Philadelphia by Daniel Brouse and Rob… and friends [in the media tent with the spirit of mass media]
Pursuant to today’s telephone conversation, thank you for your assistance. As you suggested, I did contact the Mayor’s Press Department.
It is my desire to coordinate press in two ways:
1) Obtain any positive *copy* covering the Philadelphia Police Department and the Mayor’s office. Any statements, press releases or related materials that can be edited and/or redistributed to news organizations would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for any information that will help substantiate that the Philadelphia Police have been doing an excellent job at Occupy Philly, as well as, being civil and cordial.
2) An on-camera appearance by representatives from the Police Department or the Mayor’s Office. Besides praising the Departments on camera, I would like to review the *move plan* offered to Occupy Philly by the Mayor. If we could shoot on-location Thursday or Friday during a picture perfect day, I would like to meet.
Questions include:
Where can Occupy Philly move? [The area will be filmed.]
Will there be electric?
Does Occupy Philly need any permits? Permits to move? Permits to play music? etc.
Can the move start this weekend?
In the spirit of the movement, the Occupy Philly Music Committee held their meeting at Philadelphia City Hall. Meetings are open to the public. All are welcome.
