Songs for Democracy

Voter March Music

Hail to the Chief: .au file .wav file

Hail to the Thief

Hail to the thief who has stolen this election,
rejected by the people, selected by the court [and Harris!]
You silence voters, but not our recollection.
Democracy you undermine when our will you thwart [you scare us!]

Hail to the thief as you seek cooperation,
suggesting we move forward, requesting that we start anew [so clever!]
You mean "forget" when you preach "conciliation."
Abetting by forgetting what you did we won't do [not ever!]

Bush Inaugural Theme Song
(to the tune "(What a) Wonderful World" by Sam Cooke)

Joel Landy, 2000
Joel's Songs of Freedom website

Don't know much about history.
Don't know much foreign policy.
I don’t know the names of men I kill,
Or implications of the seats I fill.
But I do know who has paid my way.
For corporate interests and the NRA
What a wonderful world this will be.

Don’t know much about ecology.
Cutting trees has always worked for me.
And I don’t know about the women’s vote,
And I can’t think of any bill I wrote.
But there's one thing that I know for sure,
If the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor
What a wonderful world this will be.

I never claimed to be an A student,
But I don’t have to be.
If you have deep pockets and sell nuclear rockets
You’re a friend of my family.

Don't know much about air pollution.
Don't know much about the Constitution.
Don’t care much for solar energy.
There’s nothing in it for my friends and me.
And if we can’t find any on our soil
We can go to war and get more oil, and
What a wonderful world this will be.

Don’t know much about the driving rules.
Don’t know much about the public schools.
Don’t know why the inner cities fail
Why can’t folks get dad to pay for Yale?
And if the issues causing you to lose
Are never covered in the evening news,
What a wonderful world this will be.

I never claimed to be an A student,
But I don’t have to be.
If you have a brother who’s the Florida Governor,
The result’s no mystery.

Don't know much about history.
Don't know much foreign policy.
Don’t know much about the national debt.
I never had to pay one off yet.
But I do know who has paid my way.
For special interests in the USA
What a wonderful world this will be.

"WE THE PEOPLE"

LesSouci(p)Lioneagle Music(ASCAP)(Originally as "All The People")
(listen to original version at http://www.mp3.com/LesSouci)

If you're just one man, trying to be-ee-ee; and "they" come and smash your
rights and everyone can see.
Most people looking, don't seem to ca-are, if you be; but if you got even
one good friend, "a little Samaritan": you got some security, 'cause

We the people.can keep each other free!
And everyone's got, just a little.responsibility

When does the man who runs that medical corporation, ever worry about the
welfare, of any man, in this nation
There's only one law written, on the books, and it shows us that: he could
be made to pay back what he loses, if he stops to worry..about that

We the people.can keep each other free!
And everyone's got, just a little.responsibility

In this country, we have a law, we call the Bill Of Rights, but if we don't
watch carefully, we may have to put up a figh-ight
So..we must watch ca-arefully-y, if we want to, stay-ay free-ee

We the people.can keep each other free!
And everyone's got, just a little.responsibility

If you get a chance today, to help your brother, I hope you're not waiting,
or hoping for another
'Cause if you're waiting 'til it gets a little closer, to the last judgement
day, you're mistaken, my friend, it's today-ay -ay-ay

We the people.can keep each other free!
And everyone's got, just a little.responsibility

Who's got the power? ...Who really has control? .........
Bush/Cheney dont have it: the Supreme Court's Partisan 5; they don't know

We the people.must exercise control!
'Cause we the people.sharing.the same soul.yah-ah-ah
We the people Tous le monde
We the people Todas las personas
We The People Naaaa Rod
We The People Abantu bonke
