A song about Bernie Sanders

Lyrics: Imagine it’s your birthday party
and someone brings a cake
it looks so good and you just can’t wait for a piece
time comes to cut it up
and something goes terribly wrong
20 people at the party, 10 don’t have any cake at all
5 people just have a bite
4 have tiny slices
1 greedy bastard has got the rest of the cake in a vice grip

This is what’s happening in our country now
we’ve got such inequality
and most of us don’t really see
and you know that I’ve loved Hillary
for quite some time
well that time is done, she’s just another vessel of lies
and backed by
goldman sachs and merrill lynch and the rest of wall st.

I hear this discourse of hopelessness
like there’s nothing we can do to fix our country
entrenched in corruption, we’re in too deep
well I disagree
We’ve got an opportunity
his name is Bernie

Well he’s backed by Unions, never run a negative ad
he’s callin out the billionaires, no wonder he’s so madI’m mad too, and I hope you are
pernicious political power play
Has gone too far

We need a change we need to all try something different
and if you’re gonna say you hate the government
then GO OUT AND MAKE IT DIFFERENT

We have an opportunity
and his name is Bernie
I beg you to go and read
about this candidate
save the hate
nothing will ever change if you
keep talking that way

Bernie Sanders
Wake up, he’s the answer
There’s more of us normal folk
than there are of the powerful
Bernie Sanders
Wake up, he’s an answer
to all of the corruption
that’s traumatized our Nation until now
If you wanna how
to get involved it’s not that hard
just go on the internet
but you’ve gotta give a shit
and I hope you do
Cause I live here how about you
and I’m not ready to give up on our nation just yet
we gotta get get get get get Bernie Sanders

some help in doing it more professionally. Hope she takes them up on it. She has a great voice and it's a great song.
