Hi

This is a collab with fellow JPFer Nathan Baker. It was part of a comp where the brief was to write a protest song with an OWS (Occupy Wall Street) angle.

Let us know what you think

Cheers

Nige

Rat-a-tat-tat
(Baker/Quin)

I’m headed down to Wall Street
Come down and bring your drum
Yeah, I’m headed down to Wall Street
Come down and bring your drum, bring your drum
Going to bang my snare
Until revolution comes

Rat-a-tat-tat
I’m going to beat the blues away
Show the one percent
The ninety-nine still have a say
Come on bang your drum
Bring a friend along
Big Business wants to play

It’s a non-violent protest
We’ll have to see what comes
I don’t like violence
And we don’t need no guns, need no guns
I vote for independence
And be free to bang my drum

I’m gonna occupy your street
Rat-a-tat-tat
Pound my drum, ‘til you retreat
Rat-a-tat-tat
Rat-a-tat-tat
Anybody home?
Rat-a-tat-tat
I’m not alone
