Wordsmiths, songwriters, your help please.
With all due respect to Country Joe and the Fish and all who fought the power in the 1960s, here is a start at a new version, needing your ideas and crafting. Missing one verse, hopefully to be about Faux Snooze; second verse is weak as hell, please sweeten/replace. Please help, let me know :)



Well, come on all of you, big strong folks,

Time to throw off the bankers' yokes.

Wall Street's got us in a terrible mess

All across this here US

So put down your debt and pick up a sign,

We're gonna have (us) a wonderful time.



And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Wall Street just don't give a fark,

Next stop: Zuccotti park!

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the bankers' books,

Well their naked greed comes undisguised

Whoopee! (this) shit ain't gonna fly.



Come on Wall Street, don't be slow,

This here's the #Occupy show!

There's plenty good money to be made

By supplying cops with the tools of their trade,

But just hope and pray that if they pepper-spray,

Wind blows it back at (Anthony) Boh-loh-nay!



And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Wall Street just don't give a fark,

Next stop: Zuccotti park!

And it's five, six, seven,

Wall Street's gonna suck my debt!

They're collecting on my student loan

Damn, them bankers just Al Capone!



Unfinished verse:
Well, come on reporters, let's move fast;

Your big chance has come at last.

Now you can go out and get those reds 9 a

'Cause the only good commie is the one that's dead 12 a

And you know that peace can only be won 10 a

When we've blown 'em all to kingdom come. 9 a



And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Wall Street just don't give a fark,

Next stop: Zuccotti park!

And it's five, six, seven,

Cops treat us like invading troops

Protecting little bankers' groups, yet

Know Anonymous doesn't forget!




Come on people throughout the land,

Time to join with #OWS hand in hand

Come on people and don't hesitate

Fucking foreclosure shouldn't be your fate

Or you will be the first ones in your block

To find the bankers have changed your locks!




And it's one, two, three,

What are we fighting for ?

Wall Street just don't give a fark,

Next stop: Zuccotti park!

And it's five, six, seven,

Open up the bankers' books,

Well their naked greed comes undisguised

Whoopee! (this) shit ain't gonna fly.
