         We need an… economy

                  that supports democracy.

                  Cap‘talism’s not the key!

 

                  It’s workplace… a hierarchy,

                  employer over employee,

                  breeds wealth in-e-qual-i-ty!

 

                           Co-op‘ratives that are worker-owned

                           That is the ke-ey!

                           They’re a model that is well-known

                           for workplace democracy! 

 

                  So if we want… an economy

                  to boost wealth e-qual-i-ty

                  it’s worker-owned co-ops for you and me!

          

                           Let’s make it easy for workers to

                           collectively bu-uy

                           all shares of their companies,

                           so they’ll be their own employees!

 

                  Spread the wordTake a vow!

                  Don’t stop ’til eve’ryone knows how!

very, very slow–>  Replace corporations with worker co-ops now!
