GO BERNIE GO

there’s a fellow from up in Vermont
he wants to be the US president
speaking so much truth you can hardly believe
that this is a man who works in government
he’s telling it plain and simple
how we got to end this corporate rule
and if you stand against what this man’s saying
you’re either super rich or you’re a fool
he’s a fighter don’t you know
not your average politico
he ain’t happy with the status quo
go Bernie go - go Bernie go

he wants universal health care
and more funding for the people’s education
wants to end military adventurism
and focus on fixing the nation
a fair shake for the working man and woman
and start taxing the rich like we should
stop selling our government to the highest bidder
and start working for the common good
he ain’t no tool of no CEO
no errand boy for Monsanto
no Wall Street banker’s friend
he’s their foe
go Bernie go - go Bernie go

the only man or woman on the campaign trail
to talk plain about racial injustice
disproportionate numbers of blacks in prison
and how we’re way overdue to discuss this
he says when anyone dies in police custody
it must be thoroughly investigated
his positions on these crucial issues
have been clearly and repeatedly stated
he knows that progress has been too slow
in the fight against the new Jim Crow
is he afraid of the racists? oh hell no!
go Bernie go - go Bernie go

now one last thing i’d like to impart
don’t you believe it when they say he’s unelectable
i’d say the source of that particular idea
is very very easily detectable
it’s the Wall Street banks
hey, Goldman Sachs CEO
calls Bernie a “danger”
coming from someone like that
that’s a powerful endorsement
Bernie’s gonna be a game changer
there’s a new kinda wind that’s about to blow
a new kinda seed that’s got to sprout and grow
he’s a breath of fresh air and we need him you know
go Bernie go - go Bernie go
