Move to Amend

Tune: Oh Dear! What Can the Matter Be
Songwriter: Vicki Ryder
Gaggle: Triangle
Business & Economy Government & Politics Human & Civil Rights

CHORUS Oh dear, what can the matter be?
Big money is killing democracy;
We’re fed up with the Fat Cat’s hypocrisy…
We need to Move to Amend.

The Supreme Court’s decided that big corporations
Can donate to candidates all through our nation.
Elections now are an abomination!
So we need to Move to Amend.

CHORUS

The candidates have to take money that’s dirty,
Or they can’t buy ads on the news at six-thirty,
And folks don’t have access to news that is worthy.
So we need to Move to Amend.

CHORUS

Corporations back candidates who help the wealthy,
While poor people cannot afford to stay healthy!
Our tax money’s wasted on bombs that are stealthy.
So we need to Move to Amend.

CHORUS

They can beat us black and blue,
Throw our books in a dumpster, too.
They can jail the people but not the truth!
Today we say no more!

CHORUS
