Heed our plea
leaders of our fair ci-ty
We’re askin’ you, and doin’ it publicly
“Re-place TEP!”
TEP‘s an IOU.
and the label is quite true,
’cause it is owned by rich investors
who profit off me and you!
So, yes indee-eed, those wealthy fe-ew
owe all of us!….. They really do-o!
Now‘s the time!
They’re pol-lu-tin’ on our dime.
We must now save our own health ‘n wealth
“Re-place TEP!”
No more franchise for TEP-ee
We want control here locally-y!
A POU
is what we need for me and you,
That‘s a public owned u-til-i-ty.
“Re-place TEP!”
A PUBLIC-OWNED POWER UTILITY….. NOW!
