I-i-if you want a world that is not al-ways at war

then don’t vo-ote for

can-did-ates who take mon-ey from wea-pons-mak-ers.

That is fo-or shore!

 

            In fact IF they are backed by big mon-ey

            then you ca-a-an ex-pect that… (pause)

            they will not do what you really want them to do(pause)

            UH, UH, Ho-on-ey!!!

 

Whe-en big mon-ey’s pre-sent you should know that it’s spent

for a rea-ea-son.

It’s ex-pec-ted to buy only pro-cor-po-rate

leg-is-la-a-tion.

 

            That is why we need ex-clu-sive-ly

            public fun-ded e-le-ec-tions…. (pause)

            And pri-mar-ies should not be 

            left up to D N C  SELE-EC-TIONS!

 

The-ere’s no de-mocra-cy, when the wealthy de-cide

nom-i-na-a-tions.

Money’s at the root of almost ev‘rything wrong

in our na-a-tion!

 

            We must work from ground up starting with our pri-ma-ry

            e-le-ec-tions.

slow->     Never vote for a can-didate who-o has corp’-rate co-nne-ec-tions!
