Housing Rights

HOUSING RIGHTS
Tune: When the Saints Go Marching In

The right to housing is a right
just like our other human rights:
right to life, religion & freedom
for them all, we’ve got to fight

Our housing market makes no sense
The average wage can’t pay these rents
Greedy landlords must be governed
To dispossess is violence

Let’s tackle poverty and debt
Let’s weave a stronger safety net
We must lend a helping hand to
those who do not have assets

The folks who have no property
deserve respect and dignity
Folks with wealth are not more worthy
All deserve equality!

Equality means everyone
It means we leave behind no one
We must end all forms of injustice
by including everyone

In common good we must invest
The good of all is what we stress
We all win when nobody loses
We’re all blessed when all are blessed
