(ah na na na na na na) 

sign said no turning on red, no idling either
sign said at least what i read, no stopping here neither
i should've know by now id never get so much as a breather 
so i stall instead so my sign said

i know its late 
but what is the time when the stars 
they shown so great? 
don't leave me alone in this car 
aching and breaking, taken in by the interstate 
cause i can't relate... 
to your vanity plate

sign said half a mile more and we can pull over
sign said watch for the doors this close to the shoulder
i could've held my own but everything i holds growing colder
so on foot i fled so my sign said

i know its late 
but what is the time when the stars 
they shown so great? 
don't leave me alone in this car 
aching and breaking, taken in by the interstate 
cause i can't relate... 
to your vanity plate

sign said while traveling at night don't drive too rapid 
sign said stop at the light and yield to through traffic
i should've bet by far for better but my fears are too graphic
so ill go mind my head so my sign said 

and when you're gone i'll never find my own way home
street lamps alone could never light this long winding road
like fragments of bone scattered across the sky 
could illuminate why by your grace go i   

i know its late 
but what is the time when the stars 
they shown so great? 
don't leave me alone in this car 
aching and breaking, taken in by the interstate 
cause i can't relate... 
to your vanity plate

in september 2011 thousands of disenfranchised americans took to the streets of lower manhattan in protest of corporate greed and it's corruption of our electoral processes 
my personal participation in occupy wall street inspired me to write this song, "we are the people" 
though this is only a very rough cut i am posting it because i am eager to share it with others 
i am daniel "homeless" mustard and i am the 99%...
