Bank the Knife Bank the Knife
Something to sing at bank pickets/occupys/sit-ins/takeovers/nationalizations....
Occupation Is On Occupation Is On
Hezekiah Jenkins wrote "The Panic Is On" in 1930; I wrote this lately, and Peggy Seeger does a Britished-up version on her recent album.
Are You Sleeping Are You Sleeping
This one's too short for the charts, so sing it as a round, over and over, and maybe it'll get up there. Meanwhile, a song to Occupy by.
I Won't Bloody Buy It I Won't Bloody Buy It
I've spent my whole life not buying things, in pursuit of human rights for various struggling peoples. Grapes, Nestle's, nukes, South Africa....here's an update.
Citizens United Citizens United
If corporations are people, my friend, is money people too? If so, how many? 300 million? One Presidency worth? Hard to say. Let's ask the Supremes. They know everything. Or change it to what they know. 5 to 4.
Tea Party Tango Tea Party Tango
Back in the good old day, that one day before they took single payer off the table, we had hope. Now we have the austerity of hope....
Shoot Down The Drones Shoot Down The Drones
The advance in weaponry is a regression for the people on the ground under the weapons. Higher percentage of civilians are killed in each successive war. What a success!
Jena Jena
People must know their place, even in the 21st Century. Or has that not yet arrived in Louisiana?
Geithner Fit the Battle Geithner Fit the Battle
The collapse of the economy, version 4.0 - or have I lost count? - cost us $11 trillion or $17 trillion - what's $6 trill between victims? Those who dunnit ain't in jail. They're busy in the White House. Harsh? Take a look.
Your Car Is Disgusting Your Car Is Disgusting
They put their names on our stadiums and their massacre chic on our backs and their hands in our pockets, and we buy it.
Food, Clothing, & Glaciers Food, Clothing, & Glaciers
Thunder is scary but plunder, be wary. They just might destroy the earth to save it. Or save themselves. Some cash. What trash.
The Ballad of BP & The Massey Massacre The Ballad of BP & The Massey Massacre
I have an active imagination, which includes jail time for the perps of exploded mines and oil platforms.
I Hate Wal-Mart I Hate Wal-Mart
Must everyone in the world work for the same company, at the same ever-lowering rates? Must we choose low prices over human values? Listen, then decide.
Teenage Immigrant Welfare Mothers on Drugs Teenage Immigrant Welfare Mothers on Drugs
Everybody's favorite song of mine was actually written by the late great Lee Goland. We're still looking for the rest of his songs.
Iraq Opportunity Theme Song Iraq Opportunity Theme Song
If this war is a parody of justice, why not song parodies to pare it down to size?
Sport Futility Vehicle Tango Sport Futility Vehicle Tango
The war in Iraq isn't about oil. It's about something much deeper, something that derives from our Western values. I speak, of course, of gasoline.
Home on the Exchange Home on the Exchange
George Shrub's theme song. Wicked, and not in a good way.
Sweatshops Sweatshops
Economic problems are caused by unions. They're constantly demanding luxuries, like multi-walled dwellings, post-nursery education, post-breakfast meals. So we set up shop in Asia, and the workers love it. They just come right in and sweat.
My Favorite Songs My Favorite Songs
They're selling my favorite songs for commercials? REALLY?!?!
Megs and All Megs and All
Based on the old tune "Peg and Awl," this song tells the story of my lifetime, its changes in technology, civil rights, war - everything you need to know.
