Would you ra-ther have tax money

pay all healthcare for you and me

and treat ev‘ryone equal-ly

or would you ra-ther fund a war?

 

            Both major parties have their corp’rate pol-iti-shuns

            who always sing the same familiar song.

            They nev-er hesi-tate… to spend BILL-YUNS

            on ev’ry new weapon that comes a-long!

 

But with a healthcare system that  would save us money in-stead

THEY claim that would put us in the red!

 

HUH???!!!

 

If you’re tired of pol-iticians who 

do just what their corp‘rat donors say,

WE have a message for you.

There real-ly is a better way!

 

            Real progressive candidates can save our nation.

            They do not take corp’rate do-na-tions.

            That kind of president’s one that we

            know will fight for you and me!

 

So if you’re tired of all the war-in’ and the hate-in’, take heed.

Pro-gres-sive candi-dates are what we need.

 

You can tell a pro-gres-sive from a fake

by lookin’ at do-na-tions that they take.

The ones they take money from

get to say how our country’s run!

           

            A true progressive can-didate    won’t take money from

            the in-dustry of guns and war wea-pons.

            or from the for-profit health indus-try

            In-stead their funders are you and me!

 

If you’re fed up  with broken prom-i-ses, then please don’t just vent!

Vote for A pro-GRES-sive pre-si-dent!
