about
Written by Laura Love to describe a particularly bruising day demonstrating with Occupy Oakland. Lyrics are taken directly from commands given to us by Oakland Police as well as replies given by Occupiers on "Move-In-Day," January 28th, 2012, whereupon we tried to seize the Kaiser Oakland Coliseum building for residence by and for Occupy Oakland to serve as our new headquarters and lodging for homeless Occupiers and their families. During the struggle we were teargassed, beanbagged, flashbanged and billyclubbed, even though some among us were children in strollers, disabled, veterans and the disabled.
