CODEPINK Greater Dallas was there as "Billionaires for Citizens United" entertained staff with satire and song at the office of Congressman Michael Burgess while those crazy 99%ers (what were they thinking?) delivered a MoveOn petition to overturn the Citizen's United Supreme Court decision. Battle Hymn of the Billionaires Song Text, to the tune of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic:" Rejoice and let us glory in the profits we've attained Since the 1% got rid of regulations we disdained. And no one's gonna mess with all our monetary gain. Let's save the status quo! CHORUS: If our great big corporation Never faces regulation We'll be brimming with elation. Let's save the status quo! We bought a bunch of senators and congresspeople, too. They serve our corporate interests and we tell them what to do. They started wars for empire and our profits grew and grew. Let's save the status quo! CHORUS... Those crazy, stinkin' liberals want accountability For torture, spying, lies and waging war illegally But we get rich by pretending to spread democracy Let's save the status quo! CHORUS... In every other wealthy nation healthcare is a right But not here in America, no not without a fight We're fighting for the right to monstrous profits day and night Let's save the status quo! CHORUS... You're unemployed and homeless but we really just don't care, And banning toxic chemicals would kill our market share. We'll never win the game if all the rules are just and fair Let's save the status quo! CHORUS... |
