SING IT to the tune of 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall

Murderous men in ties
Ignore our children’s cries.
They may as well
Be shooting the guns,
Murderous men in ties.

Murderous men in ties
Continue to capitalize,
So wealth stays with
The upper class.
Murderous men in ties!

Murderous men in ties
Start wars all based on lies,
To profit from
The arms they sell.
Murderous men in ties!

Murderous men in ties
Would rather our trans kids die
Than let them have
The care they need!
Murderous men in ties!

Murderous men in ties
Love to criminalize,
To imprison those
They detest and fear.
Murderous men in ties!

Murderous men in ties
Just watch the earth’s demise,
The money they make
Their only stake.
Murderous men in ties!

Murderous men in ties
Want to control our lives.
Our bodies and minds
Will not be theirs!
Murderous men in ties!

Our bodies and minds
will not be theirs!
Murderous men in ties!
