Protest Song

I wrote a protest song. It’s protests Wall Street, the real Big Brother, mind controlling, spying on everyone. The international Corporate Cartel with an army; the United States armed forces. The song is quite provocative if you consider the love of money over human life. The song has a extraordinary title that caused some concern among the censors on the net. The video accompanying the song was rudely removed and I was punished by Youtube, thought not for it’s striking title but because a still photo, downloaded from Youtube parent company Google Images, shows three young girls holding assault weapons/rifles and smiling for mom and dad’s (I hope) camera. This was because, as Youtube explained it “depicted children in a potentially dangerous situation”. LOL

Anyway Vimeo, thirsting for content, didn’t have a problem posting it for me so you can watch it there. I hope my assault on Wall Street outweighs the assault of the melody, lousy guitar playing and primitive recording on your ears. Lyrics run with the video but here they are as a poem if you wish.

We’re all Niggers on Wall Street.mp4 on Vimeo

 

We’re all Niggas on Wall St

 

They don’t discriminate, we’re just the human race.

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

Praise any God you choose, wrap it in Red White and Blue

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Giving a whole new meaning, to we’ll take care of you

All men are created equal, old folks and women too

White trash like you and me, every kid L-G-B-T

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

No matter where on Earth you are, from Arizona to Zambia

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

Don’t mind if you’re prolife, or wanna make that man your wife.

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Giving a whole new meaning, to being Shanghaied,

All the colors of the rainbow, fade to black and white

Every politician who needs the bribes, every starving baby that cries

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Rob the rich, go to jail, fight each other at the Walmart sale

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

You’re not allowed to die, until they’ve bled you dry,    

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Giving a whole new meaning, to being free

Selling peace and happiness, at the pharmacy

Every day working hard, pay the interest on the credit card

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Send the poor boys GIs, to steal the oil kill and die

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

The class war’s already won, they didn’t need a gun

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Giving a whole new meaning to the American dream

Literally a plastic world, from credit cards to the Christmas tree

They don’t even know our name, we’ve never really been in the game

We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

White war on browns & blacks, the 1%ers pay no tax

 We’re all niggas down on Wall St

2nd amendment or gun control, chasing each other down the rabbit hole

 We’re all niggas down on Wall St

 

Giving a whole new meaning, to the golden rule,

If I can take your dough, then I’ll do unto you,

If this song gets a million plays, I’ll have enough pone for one more day

We’re all niggas down on Wall St
