Happy New Year from Recreate 68: (memorize for Denver)
A NEW YEAR’S SONG FROM R68
(sung to the tune of “Auld Lang Syne”)
Should we the people be forgot
For a big fat corporate fee
Should we the people be forgot
Must be time for the DNC
CHORUS:
The DNC, my friends
The DNC
They’ll lock us out and lock us up
At the DNC
The Dems will have a big party
With corporations by the score
But there’ll be no invitation
For the homeless or the poor
CHORUS
The city says ‘twill be easy
For folks to demonstrate
As long as they’re ten miles away
From the Pepsi Center gate
CHORUS
We’ll know the candidate to be
In another month or two
So it’s up to all us protesters
To give the media something to do
CHORUS
Inside the Pepsi Center walls
Democracy’s a sham
The Festival in Civic Center
Is where we’ll really jam
CHORUS
The Dems say that they’ll end the war
And give us health care too
But if they don’t see some real street heat
They’ll never follow through
CHORUS
It’s time to take the country back
From one party that pretends to be two
From corporations and fat cats
For me and you and you
