The Lyrics

Ooooo - klahoma, where Old Ribber lays it on the line. Anyway, the shrewd operatives (Obama, Axelrod, and Plouffe) are flirting with (if not embracing) the Occupying movement. But, remembering Chicago 1968, they have issued specific instructions to the troops in the streets. ;D


How can we show that we are the ninety-nine percent?
How do we keep our movement from being too hell-bent?
Now that the Prez, in all that he says, promotes our scene -
Here is our job: Although they're a mob, we'll keep it clean!

Don't burn the U.S. flags.
Shout F-words, but use class.
Don't throw - bricks at Wall Street glass.
People will say that we're thugs!
Don't hurl - our sh*t in bags.
Don't spit - on the police.
For it - makes bad press release.
People will say that we're slugs.

Don't pee - here in the street.
O.'s giving us glowing plugs.
Next year - we don't want defeat.
People will say we are bugs.


For greater good just act as you should. Don't flip your lids.
S.E.I.U. should not have told you "Beat up their kids!". (1)
'Though it's more fun to come all undone, to loot and burn.
No mad attacks! For here are the facts that you must learn.

Raise hell - don't scare off votes.
Don't cause - a big backlash.
Don't let - the press share your "stash".
People will say we're on drugs.
Go get - the rich folk's goats.
Don't trash - or wreck the town.
Just help - bring the system down.
Let's go throw paint on their rugs!

Here comes - big union guys.
Here's Van Jones giving us hugs.
That's why - it is no surprise
People will say that we're thugs!





(1) - Actually, this was one thing NOT mentioned in the S.E.I.U. battle manual, although it orders members to trash capitalists at work and at their homes. The new Obama strategy makes no attempt to court moderates or independents. It's aimed to mobilize ultra liberals, union members, ethnics (Black and Hispanic), and "social" groups to get 50.0001% of the vote. But Rove and the Republicans are the only people who use "wedge" politics! ;D

The advice that OWS protesters got must have included "Don't start collecting trash" (unless a crew from the city shows up) and "Give me my smokes and free love." 5s + for the variety of "-ugs" rhymes.
