Privatized!

Our entire government’s been corp‘-ra-tized!

This has been taking place before our eyes!

Now we must rise!

Le-etting rich folks do this

means we might as well just ki-iss…

 

good-bye to

all ves-ti-ges of true de-mo-cra-cy.

What’s left will be a huge plu-to-cra-cy

wed-ded to

the U S mi-li-ta-ry

We must stop this. It’s too sca-ry!

 

Or-gan-ize!

That’s what we have to do to save our lives!

Nationwide launching of strikes and boycotts

are all we’ve got.

E-lections will be too late.

And they’ll be rigged. We can’t wa-ait!

(Give it a rousing, hats-held-in-the-air-and-shaking Vaudeville ending on the last verse)…..

Strike  ‘n boycott!

Vow right now to disrupt their dirty daily  plo-ot!

We need each woman and man

across our entire land

to stop this privatizing sca-a-a-a-am!
