Muhammad Al-Hussaini - Anthem to Occupy London and Occupy Faith

(Twitter: @MYAlHussaini) A protest song written and performed by Muhammad Al-Hussaini, of the Occupy Clergy Liaison Working Group, as a first anniversary tribute anthem to Occupy London and Occupy Faith. It is filmed on location at St Paul's Cathedral, the Bank of England, City of London Guildhall, Finsbury Square and other historic sites of the Occupy protest. The song tells the story of the betrayal of the St Paul's protestors by the religious establishment together with the City of London authorities, both with financial and political interests:

By Bishopsgate I pitched my tent
'Neath St Paul's my Sunday school
And fateful shadows in the night
There comes a priest called Muffin the Mule.
For Faith you faithless tell me lies
Bishop, you who took their gold
And did the man from Galilee
Weep tears for every truth you sold?
Chorus:
London, oh you cut my heart
Judas friend of guile and schemes
Grave of my innocence, Mammon town
Of angels, whores, and shame and dreams.
Lord Mayor by the Dean is blessed
Goldman Sachs in bright array
So the wretched deal is done
And Pilate's churchmen prophets slay.
And in Glencoe upon Wren's yard
The Corporation thieves the morn
Campbell knife in darkness falls
With boots and lies and blood and scorn.
And now my darling in my arms
Soaring breasts so pure and cool
Cairo sunshine in your hair
We sing farewell to Muffin the Mule.
