Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic

There’s coal ash, pipelines, fracking, and there’s filling off our shores,
And toxic waste gets dumped upon the people who are poor.
The profited will kill us if we don’t raise up a fuss.
The war economy ain’t workin’ out for us.

We stand in Seattle and we sing our simple song.
For dignity for everyone, a place we all belong.’
Listen, politicians! We won’t take it anymore!
In a land as rich as this why should anyone be poor?

CHORUS:
We are marching in the Poor People’s Campaign
With voices loud and fists raised high till there are no more chains;
And we’ll keep marching forward, and go back again!
Together we are strong!
