Tim Page/NZ Musician Review "Working for the USA" Protest music has strong ties to tradition and national identity. It works as a tool to unite people and does so by identifying common traits among them. Steve Cooke, though he is originally from the UK has an uncanny knack for creating music that gets to the roots of American identity. Steve Cooke‘s song “Working for the USA,” addresses a lot of the issues at play in the Occupy Wall Street protest. The lyrics reflect the conflict at the heart of protest – the inequality between blue collar workers and the white collar executives that profit from their hard labor. It’s an ultimately uplifting track though, whose unifying message calls on everybody to work together to make a better America. CBS Music/MP3.com
