[video=youtube_share;BIX5zcitEaY]
[/video]Fire Is Ours refers to the positive collective spirit and unity that in 1776 created a republic from oligarchy and again in the 1930s under FDRs leadership elevated America and enfranchised the majority of citizens in economic equality and prosperity. Civil Rights, Womens Rights and Immigrant Rights all moved forward until war and corporate greed dismantled the dream of an ever progressing society. Now is our time to reignite the fires of democracy founded on equitable representation. The message is clear: our broken, polarized, corrupt system must be replaced by a courageous and public values centered movement that creates integrity and health in economy, ecology, politics, law and social fabric. Bernie is the practical and symbolic elder of this transformation.
Lyrics
Ive been lied to
Misled
Built up by what they said
Lifted only to be let down
Ive been taken
For a ride
Given power to decide
Only to find out I was wrong
But Ive learned to tell the ones who fake it
From the few really fit to run
Just follow the money theyve been takin
And the truth will shine like the sun
Im so tired of lies now babe
Dont wanna compromise no way
And I feel the burn
For someone who cant be bought
To back the man whos fought
For the People of America
Color. Gender.
Whos a bigger spender?
Party. Personality.
Soundbite. Get it right.
Entertain em, its a fight
Pick the one who most thinks like me
Dont speak of any real solutions
Its the shock appeal theyre looking for
Dont criticize the institution
But I cant take it anymore
Arent you tired of lies now baby?
Its 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 youll feel the burn
For integrity to lead
To focus on the needs
Of the People of America
Somebodys tuggin at your heartstrings
Sayin what you wanna hear
But theyre just a pawn to the real kings
Playin upon your fear
The love of power is a puppet string
But cant 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 youll feel the Bern
Standing up to greed
Word aligned with deed
Worthy President of America
