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
