What good is vo-ting for somebody who                     just throws crumbs to me and you?                        Break-ing their cam-paign prom-is-es,                        they serve the weal-thy few!

De-mand a pri-mary to nom-i-nate                                a pro-gressive can-di-date who’ll take do-na-tions   on-ly from                        folks just like me and you

chorus tune:                       The D N Ce-e-e ... wants you and me-e-e                      to just shut up  not make a fuss                                       ‘n let ’em keep on robbin’ u-us!

verse tune:                           We need some-one who is not a war hawk.                     To get one we have to be    will-ing to stand up and to make                                 de-mands on the DNC!                                                  chorus:                                 Su-per dele-ga-a-ates ….     e-li-mi-nate                        de-moc-ra-cy   for  you and me                               em-pow-er the D N Ce-e!

verse tune:

Ranked choice vo-ting and in-stant run-offs                    will im-prove our pri-mar-ies                                         giving the par-ty’s base more voice                         not just the D N C!

We’re tired of pri-maries that are rigged and           the D N C’s hea-vy hand.  No more cor-p’rate-owned can-di-dates!              That’s what we now demand!

RANKED CHOICE PRIMARIES…. NOW!!!
