EUGENE, Ore. (KMTR) -- Occupy supporters marched in downtown Eugene Monday to mark the one-year anniversary of the Occupy Eugene movement.

They gathered where it all started – at the city park blocks at 8th and Oak.

Many showed up with signs and dressed in costumes.

They walked down the streets chanting “too big to fail, not too big to jail."

Occupiers wrapped up the day of action with food, music, speeches and skits.

Thank you for the wonderful coverage! I thought viewers might enjoy these lyrics we sang at every stop along our way, to the tune of that old favorite "Puttin' On The Ritz"... ******* If you're sick of one-percenter types in league with government official cranks We're breaking up the banks! If you're tired of seeing all of your tax dollars go to fighter jets and tanks We're breaking up the banks! Don't tell us that they're too big to fail Criminals like them should be in jail ("End of sale!") We saved J.P Morgan Chase, slap in the face is all we get by way of thanks We're breaking up the banks! Don't believe them when they say They worked hard to get that way We don't want their charity We're demanding parity Access to education Health care for all the nation Roofs to keep us warm And campaign finance reform (kazoo solo!) Don't give us more tax breaks for the wealthy Let's make sure our working class is healthy ("Ring the belfry!") President Obama we're waiting for you to show some teeth, break with your ranks Breaking up the banks There's no end to what they'll do Squeezing money out of you They'd be all that they can be On the backs of you and me F*** that, the game is changing Now that we're rearranging Secret backdoor rules For obedient fools Come let's lend a hand to all help Occupy throughout the land, even Tom Hanks We're breaking up the banks! We're breaking up the banks! We're breaking up the banks!
