Video: Useful idiots in Oakland like to dance

After they complain about banks but before they take "action to shut down PORT of Oakland," the useful idiots of Occupy Oakland are planning to carry out what most anti-capitalist protesters only ever dream of... a choreographed dance set to the tune of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive."

Here's the video -- so you can wag your finger, gyrate your hips and "compost capitalism" with them from the comfort of your own home.  Personally, I think this sort of musical class warfare is exactly what Karl Marx had in mind -- a true (Dance Dance) Revolution:

Here's a transcript of their special anti-corporate lyrics (h/t Conn Carroll). In the world of OWS, "strong" and "action" rhyme -- who knew?

At first I was afraid

I was petrified

Thinking I could never live

Without dollars by my side

But then I spent so many nights

Thinking how you did us wrong

I grew strong

I learned how to take action

‘cause we got jacked!

In your rat race

You rigged the game to profiteer

Off climate change and toxic waste

You gamble lives to push your stocks

And so we’re leaving finally

We’re composting capitalism

Together collectively!

Go on now go

Walk out the door

Just turn around now

Cause you’re not welcome anymore

Weren’t you the one percent who hurt me with your lies

You think I’d crumble

You think I’d lay down and die

Oh no, not I

I will survive

Oh, As long as I know how to love

I know I’ll stay alive

I’ve got all my life to live

I’ve got all my love to give

I will survive

[Dance Interlude]

It took all the strength you had

To tear us apart

We fight each other

With the pieces of our broken hearts

We’re the 99 percent

United in dissent

We used to cry

But now we hold our heads up high

And you see us

We’re feeling new!

We’re not that chained up little shopper

Still in love with you

Got us working to the bone

But today we’re breaking free

Now we’re saving all our loving
