An idea for a rally song
To the tune, "Burning' down the house"
I haven't the means to record it via karaoke and I'm sure a rewrite of the lyrics could be better. I have no idea if changing the lyrics exempts it from copyright laws as it could be considered a parody. Perhaps the Talking Heads would love to have a crack at it. I might suspect that they are Bernie supporters.
Bernie's in the house
Speak up, you might get what you're after
Stand up, and vote progressive
He's an ordinary guy
Bernie's in the house
Hold tight
The movement's starting
Hold tight
We are the future
There has got to be a way
Bernie's in the house
One percenters pack your bags
Time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far,
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
All wet, hey, you might need a raincoat
Shakedown, dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred sixty five degrees
Bernie's in the house
It was once upon a place,
Sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work,
Baby, what did you expect?
Gonna burst into flame
Bernie's in the house
My house's out of the ordinary
That's right
Don't want to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Bernie's in the house
No corporate means of support
And you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
And they don't know what to expect
Staring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire
