Octopi Wall Street
Zeke Hoskin


You may think that Darwin showed that vertebrates are fine,
You think "spineless" is an insult, youre so proud to own spine,
Well, Mammon's Mighty Molluscs say you'd better keep in line...
Octopi Wall Street!

Octopi Wall Street; We're mean and tough,
If you've still got anything we don't have enough,
Our tentacles reach everywhere to suck up all your stuff
Octopi Wall Street!

We don't do no straight deals, cause everywhere we're bent
We came here to take over. we're achieving our intent
To devour the hairy, warm-blooded 99%
Octopi Wall Street!

Octopi Wall Street; We take no guff,
If you've still got anything we don't have enough,
Our tentacles reach everywhere to suck up all your stuff
Octopi Wall Street!

We've got suckers on our tentacles, you suckers are our prey;
The more you try to keep from us, the more we'll make you pay.
We rob the poor to feast the rich cause that's the Wall Street way
Octopi Wall Street!

Octopi Wall Street; This is not a bluff:
If you've still got anything we don't have enough,
Our tentacles reach everywhere to suck up all your stuff
Octopi Wall Street!
Octopi Wall Street!



Some punctuation added, stanza breaks shown, and "Might" corrected to "Mighty".

"proud to own A spine"

Thanks for posting the words, Haruo. Apparently the video has had only 60 hits. Ought to be 600,000. Zeke's "No Ferrari For Christmas" was my personal highlight of the 2010 Princeton Traditional Music Festival .

Thanks for the correction. Maybe Joe or a clone can insert it (lower case please). Yeah, it's hard to imagine that it's had only 63 hits in almost two months, and the link posted here for a week and a half... Maybe YouTube is in the Bankers' Pockets!
