Tune: Acres of Clams

There’s something that’s troubling the grannies.
We toss and we turn late at night.
Wond’rin why there are so many hungry
In a land that’s so rich, that ain’t right (spoken!)

CHORUS
It’s time for a moral revival
Come join the Poor Peoples Campaign
To end poverty in our nation
Come join the Poor Peoples Campaign

The government spends all our taxes
For fighting in lands far away,
Killing woman and kids without reason.
It’s no wonder our hair’s turning gray.

They’re drilling and fracking and dumping,
To fatten their wallets, you see.
They don’t really care if we live or die!
It’s enough to make Mother Earth weep.

CHORUS

E-qui-ty for all the people
They say is the law of the land
But our system is blatantly racist
Together for justice we stand.

CHORUS

Repeat chorus
