To the tune of “There’s a Hole in the Bucket”)
There’s a flaw in the system,
We know it, we know it,
There’s a flaw in the system,
We know it full well.
So why are we marching
To occupy Calgary?
And what about bankers
And why should we care?
Well, banks make their trillions
And CEOs billions
And pad their expenses
While their revenues swell.
There’s too much corruption
And not enough gumption
For government to fix it
And we’re mad as hell!
If government won’t fix it
We’ll have to go marching
If we don’t like the system
We have to speak out!
The rich scam on taxes
On us fall the axes,
To carry the deficit
And bailouts as well.
Well, Grannies want justice
Or some kind of fairness,
We’re Raging and Ready
And Here’s what we Tell:
There’s a flaw in the system,
We know it, we know it,
There’s a flaw in the system,
AND WE’RE STILL MAD AS HELL!
