In this na-tion, this migh-ty na-tion, a Li-on stirs to-night.
In this na-tion, a mass-ive move-ment op-pos-es the far right!
(G#) Poli-ti-i-i-i shuns who take corp‘rate funds
be-wa-a-are your ca-reers are now done!
There’s a pash‘nate pro-gress-ive move-ment sweep-in’ ‘cross this land
as those tired of be-ing robbed by the weal-thy take a stand!
Your Tee-ee V ads can’t fool us now!
We’ve see-een through them and here’s our vow:
We’ll kick out all you corp‘rate pup-pets who’ve thrown us ‘neath the bus!
We’ll vote on-ly for those who are a-ccount-a-ble to us.
We-e-e are the new pro-gress-ives!
We-e-e are no long-er pass-ive!
We-e-e greatly out-num-ber you!
(very slow) Yo-o-or… reign is… now… clear-ly… through!

Sung by some, in the background throughout the entire song:

Vote ’em out. ( X2)
/
Vote ’em out. (X2) Vote ’em out. (X2)

Vote ’em out. (X2)
