I see a crowd of people. It's - that Occupy Wall Street.
They're chanting angry slogans and their words are full of heat.
They're calling ev'ry wealthy man an evil heartless jerk,
But that's not why I'm uptight. They have blocked my way to work!

Let me cross the bridge! Let me cross the bridge!
Is this protest causing problems? Yes, more than a smidge.
'Though you will not hear me blaming,
This group needs a little taming.
People - let me cross the bridge.

They're out there screaming "capital" and greed has caused the shame.
A single act of vi-o-lence could set this mob aflame.
And 'though I have great sympathy for all the unemployed,
If I can't get to work again I will be quite annoyed.

Let me cross the bridge! Let me cross the bridge!
They have turned Lower Manhattan - into Heartbreak Ridge.
For the mob has vowed to mass there
While the Prez calls for "class warfare".
Brothers - let me cross the bridge.

There's lots more press and cable news - than had been there before.
I see Susan Sarandon and - hey look! There's Michael Moore!
I'm sure some share my greivances. My heart goes out and yet,
If I can't get to work my taxes won't help pay the debt.

Let me cross the bridge! Let me cross the bridge!
If I don't work then soon there'll be - no food in the fridge.
Brooklyn Bridge now's a slow funnel
And they shout "Block Holland Tunnel!".
Sisters - let me cross the bridge.
They'll take Wall Street down
And come to your town!
People - let me cross the bridge!
