Daniel Brouse writes the song Home Free at Occupy Philadelphia
Am C7 Em
Am7 Em
Home
Where the free and the brave roam
Alone
Will you take it in your hand
Together
Will you make a stand
Whether
The hypocrite weather
Raining
Like fat cats and hogs
Reigning
Like fat cats and hogs
Rainin’ em like cats and dogs
Capo 4
I’m thinking of how to rid IN
The coldness of inJustIce ice
May the thaw begin
Pray (that) the Awe win
Get it out
From within
Rid the IN
Bid the IN
A fair adieu
Will you?
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.

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.
