Tips from the gaggle
  • Read the lyrics through once silently before singing.
  • If the original tune is unfamiliar, look it up first.
  • Modify freely. Every gaggle adapts songs to local issues.
SING IT to the tune of Red River Valley

CorpoRAtions have FREE speech like PEOple.
They have RIGHTS just like YOU and like ME.
GenuFLECT to the COR porate POWer.
The SupREME court has RULED, don’t you SEE.

CorpoRAtions have BOUGHT off our CONgress,
The STATES and the WHOLE country, too.
Corp’rate TRILLions now equal union MILLions.
Corp’rate RULE is the LAW for ME and you.

Now FOLKS we can FEEL reassured
Who CARES if deMOCracy is gone?
We’ll be RULED by the NEO-cons from WALmart,
Goldman SACHS, AIG, and Exxon.

Shout: DON’T FORGET BANK OF AMERICA!
AND THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!

Sooooooooooooooooooooo————–

GenuFLECT to CORporate POWer.
The SupREME court has RULED, don’t you see?
CorpoRAtions are VERY special PEEEEEE puuuuul…

Spoken: CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM IS HISTORY!!
