Our country is really sick

and we must now heal it.

There is just one thing that will…

and It is not a pill.

A big strike here…. a boycott there… a mass…ive gen‘ral strike ev’rywhere

The only thing that’ll cure our ills…. is attackin’ the corp’rate till!

Plannin’ to vote this Congress out

will be too little, too late!

And it don’t matter how loud we shout!

Waitin’ will seal our fate!

With voter purgin’ here and gerrymand’rin’ there… de-fund-in’ gov-ernment ev‘rywhere!

We must take BIG ACTION NOW... BE-FORE IT’S TOO LATE!

There’s one thing Billionaires care ‘bout

profit, profit, profit!

Protests and pe-ti-tions don’t count!

Just profit, profit, profit!

The way to get… their attention is... to shut down… all BIG BIZ!

We need to do it, and do it now It’s the only way to stop it!
