SING IT to the tune of Red River Valley

Corporations are now in power
They depend on growth to survive
Economic Growth’s the solution
The way for our system to thrive

Corporations rule our country
Profit system is all we can see
This Growth causes Global Warming
What’s happened to Democracy?

Our system is dying of cancer
In need of treatment today
Corporate Power it is in denial
It’s not the American way

Big liars deny Global Warming
Say recession is on the mend
Big Banks they just got Bigger
The poor by themselves, let them fend

Global Warming is now upon us
Denial takes all for a fall
We must change our corporate system
Insure a safe future for all

Limit growth and save the Planet
It’s Democracy at work we install
Let workers make needed changes
Insure a safe world for us all
