Written for the 2010 "Keep the Promises" rally

lyrics

Where are our jobs, essential, sential jobs
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where are our homes, our home sweet home sweet homes
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs (loans) are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where are our pensions, our scrimped and saved for pensions
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where’s our public option, our vaunted public option
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where are our rights, our sacred civil rights
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where is our peace, our precious, precious peace
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where is our change, our, yearned for, hard-earned change
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus

Where is our hope, audacious, dacious hope,
All gone to bombs and to bailouts (bailouts)
Wall Street squandered all their wealth, then they stole it back in stealth
Jobs are scarce but bankers get a bonus
