I unearthed an old song from 1983 today, "Not a Person". The lyrics seem apropos of the OWS movement.
Not A Person c 1983 Tim Cain
You won't find my name in a phone book
I'll never have a post office box
You'll never see me with a hand full of keys
You'll never see me buying stacks of CDs
I'm not a person, oh no
Not by your standard, oh, no, no, no
I'm not a person, oh no
Not by your standard, oh, no, no, no
Seems I can't find me a good job
I'll never get to buy a new car
I'll never have enough for a mortgage
For a pretty little house with a yard
I'm not a person, oh no
Not by your standard, oh, no, no, no
I'm not a person, oh no
Not by your standard, oh, no, no, no
Bridge-
Is it Reagan?, Is it Carter?
Is it Thomas "Tip" O'Neal?
Is it unions? Point the finger
I only want my next meal.
You won't find my name in a phone book
I'll never have a post office box
You'll never see me with a hand full of keys
You'll never see me buying 3D TVs
I'm not a person, oh no
Not by your standard, oh, no, no, no
I'm not a person, oh no
Not by your standard, oh, no, no, no
I am still working on an update- especially for the bridge.
