6. So my earworm from the other day...

Made me tweak a few of the lyrics for Saturday's event(s), posting them here so everyone can use them.

The song...




New lyrics, by 2naSalit, for No Kings or any other protest. The song it the same, pretty much, I've bolded the changes...

To the tune of the song above:

So your brother's bound and gagged
And they've chained him to a chair
Won't you please come out to protest just to sing?
In a land that's known as freedom
How can such a thing be fair?
Won't you please come out to protest
For the help that we can bring?

We can change the world
Rearrange the world
It's dying
To get better

Politicians sit yourselves down, here's what you need to hear
Won't you please come out to protest for a ride?
Don't ask trump to help you 'cause he'll turn the other ear
Won't you please come out to protest or else join the other side?

(We can change the world) yes, we can change the world
(Rearrange the world) rearrange the world
(It's dying) if you believe in justice
(It's dying) and if you believe in freedom
(It's dying) let us all live our own lives
(It's dying) rules and regulations, we need them! (Ooh)
Open up the door

Somehow people must be free, I hope the day comes soon
Won't you please come out to protest? Show your face
From the bottom of the ocean to the mountains of the moon
Won't you please come out to protest? No one else can take your place

(We can change the world) yes, we can change the world
(Rearrange the world) rearrange the world
(It's dying) if you believe in justice
(It's dying) and if you believe in freedom
(It's dying) let us all live our own lives, yeah
(It's dying) rules and regulations, please heed them! (Ooh)
Open up the door
