Politicians who are corp’rate funded keep spending our money to pay

for wars and tax breaks for the wealthy while homelessness grows ev’ry day!

Though we are the wealthiest nation, our wealth goes to those at the top.

For ev‘ryone else it is rationed. Sure smells like pol-i-tical rot!

The wealth inequality is done in-ten’sh-nally

It keeps us fi-ighting with our peers.

To win this fight we must unite!

Don’t let them control us with fear!

We should be sup-port-ing our stu-dents who strug-gle to pay for their loans.

We should be sup-porting our fam-‘lies, since people are forced from their homes.

Our brid-ges and high-ways are crumb-ling. Our ed-u-ca-tion’s be-low par.

We spend many billions on kill-ing. It’s time we waged pe-ace, not war!

The wealth inequality is done in-ten’sh-nally

It keeps us fi-ighting with our peers.

To win this fight we must unite!

Don’t let them control us with fear!

We spend twice as much on our healthcare as other developed nations.

But our health stats are far worse than theirs, ’cause the for-profits suck up our funds!

A National Med-i-care for All… would save the whole nation money

but cor-p’rate investors oppose it, ’cause It won’t let them rob you and me!

The wealth inequality is done in-ten’sh-nally

It keeps us fi-ighting with our peers.

To win this fight we must unite!

Don’t let them control us with fear!
