The occupy gang has now eclipsed any hypocrisy they hoped to expose. Their means has corrupted the end. "The road to hell is filled with good intentions" Their philosophy short changes a system that isn't perfect, but is still far better than the one they propose as a replacement.
Short Change The World
Directionless souls chasing a lost cause Put up their tents, ignore the laws They claim that it’s their right to point out others flaws They proclaim themselves as the new boss But aren’t they tired of trying to short change the world
There they go again on the evening news With sound bites so hateful and confused Some burned out hippy freaks with nothing left to loose Stoned on political power, drugs and booze Aren’t they tired of trying to short change the world
Everything is much better than they’d have us believe Wealth creates philanthropy dependence creates need Misinformed misfits doing the tyrant’s deeds Distracting discontents who love to watch others bleed Aren’t they tired of trying To short change the world Don’t shortchange the world Shortchange our word Shortchange our world

Song 11 of the "Back In Bloom" album is a modern arena rock invention
“Don’t Change Us”.
At 4:49 it screams in the face of flawed ideas that replace individual rights and force subjects to serve a gang of crooked thugs who should be locked up behind bars instead of being in a position of power over them.
Don’t Change Us
Don’t Change Us,
Don’t Change Us,
Don’t Change Us
We’re fine the way we are
Don’t Change Us,
Don’t Change Us,
Don’t Change Us
We’re fine the way we are
We don’t want your dumb smart cars
We don’t need more hollow stars
You and your crooked thugs belong behind bars
Don’t change us,
We’re fine the way we are
Don’t Change Us,
Don’t Change Us,
Don’t Change Us,
We’re fine the way we are
Don’t try to sell your lies to me,
Our fore fathers died to keep us free
Your teleprompter lies,
Have pushed us too far
Don’t Change Us,
We’re fine the way we are

Night Watcher
You watch the night From dark to day You put yourself Beyond the fear and in harm’s way Ready to resist or to join the fight When the innocent sleep your awake to watch the night
You carry weapons on your belt To use with your keen sight When the world descends into darkness You’re still standing burning bright You are the luminary Your there to keep things right Standing your ground and watching the night
Your only task is to see night go past Without the wicked wales of sorrow Leading the way to the next tomorrow With the spark you carry along Protecting the ember until dawn
You watch the night from dark to day You put yourself beyond the fear and in harm’s way You are the luminary your there to keep things right When the innocent sleep your awake to watch the night
You carry weapons on your belt to use with your keen sight When the world descends into darkness Your standing there burning bright You are the luminary your there to keep things right Standing your ground and watching the night Night Watcher Night Watcher Night Watcher

That Hollow Man
False hope and false healing,
he leaves you with a hollow feeling
He paints layers of pious pretention
Hawking tickets to some group redemption
His words are soft and sticky,
his beady eyes are cold and tricky
A deceiver of the black hand,
who’s no-one’s friend
Start seeing thru that hollow man
Chanting lies over the sleeping,
his mission is to leave them weeping
He comes to town with the cameras rolling
The press distracted and the church bells tolling
Moving smooth and moving fast,
with both hands grabbing the cash
Forget what he told you,
don’t let his teachings mold you
Just resist that hollow man
His words lack rhyme and reason,
and flash with a hint of treason
All thru time it’s been the same,
tyrants playing the same game
They ignore the golden rule,
while claiming that they work for you
To get their way is all that matters
Leaving the people’s freedom torn and tattered
Show him the door, That hollow man

Jim Crammer is an x hedge fund manager who shares his professional insights uncovering the truth hidden between the lies and rumors with common investors. The Lightning Round is about a segment of Jim Crammer’s show Mad Money where he tries to advise as many callers back to back in a short period of time.
The Lightning Round
Looking for direction Trying to turn your luck to gold Your chips are on the table It’s time to bet or fold You’ve heard the information That the guru said was true But no one said for certain What you’re supposed to do
The truth can be found Between the lies In the lightning round
He claimed to make a pile On the preaching of some fool And left behind his honesty And the golden rule Running with the wolves That wait outside of town So desperate and so hungry To devour what they found
The truth can be found Between the lies In the lightning round

The faster you go the slower you burn The harder you fall the more you unlearn The more you save the less you earn Miles and Miles from Nowhere
Sinking in circumstance created by your mind The harder you look the less you can find Racing toward the exit suspended in time Miles and Miles from Nowhere
Running toward a future that lies in you past Stifled by circumstance behind your mask Seeking shelter never seems to last Many more Miles from Nowhere
Sweating and drinking in the heat Exposed and hungry in the street Carrying something that tastes so sweet Miles and Miles from Nowhere
Pouring out your prayers in purgatory Standing in the shade of heaven’s gate Yearning and Yearning to ascend higher But for now you’ll have to wait
Miles and Miles, Miles and Miles Miles and Miles from Nowhere
