Love This Guy! (Feel The Bern anthem)
://
Lyrics
I’ve been lied to
Misled
Built up by what they said
Lifted only to be let down
I’ve been taken
For a ride
Given power to decide
Only to find out I was wrong
But I’ve learned to tell the ones who fake it
From the few really fit to run
Just follow the money they’ve been takin’
And the truth will shine like the sun
I’m so tired of lies now babe
Don’t wanna compromise no way
And I feel the burn
For someone who can’t be bought
To back the man who’s fought
For the People of America
Color. Gender.
Who’s a bigger spender?
Party. Personality.
Soundbite. Get it right.
Entertain ’em, it’s a fight
Pick the one who most thinks like me
Don’t speak of any real solutions
It’s the shock appeal they’re looking for
Don’t criticize the institution
But I can’t take it anymore
Aren’t you tired of lies now baby?
It’s time for us to rise- no more maybe
And I feel the burn
For the truth to come across
To melt away the gloss
And reveal their motivations
And you’ll feel the burn
For integrity to lead
To focus on the needs
Of the People of America
Somebody’s tuggin’ at your heartstrings
Sayin’ what you wanna hear
But they’re just a pawn to the real kings
Playin’ upon your fear
The love of power is a puppet string
But can’t control the love we bring
The fire is ours
The hour is now
The tide is set to turn
And I feel the burn
To cast aside the chains
And salvage what remains
Of a dream worth defending
And you’ll feel the Bern
Standing up to greed
Word aligned with deed
Worthy President of America
