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 I Can’t Give You Anything but Love

Money isn’t anything but speech, baby.
Think of all the people we can reach, baby!

Dream a while, scheme a while
We’re sure to find,
Happiness and I guess.
Just what corp’rate speech desires

Court Supreme has given us the keys, baby.
We can do whatever we may please, baby,

House and senate all within our reach baby
Money isn’t anything but speech.

Money isn’t anything but speech, baby.
No one out there now that we can’t teach, baby.

Radio, Tee-eVee,
newspapers too,
everything, canvassing–
Just what corp’rate speech desires.

Money isn’t anything but speech, baby.
No one out there now that we can’t teach baby
House and senate all within our reach, baby.
Money isn’t anything but speech.
