[lookin' to roll into recording studio soon to do audio/YouTube
version of this to go viral-- help, anyone?]
Say it with some authority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
From the youth to the seniority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
Whether you're twenty, sixty, or forty-- WE ARE THE REAL
MAJORITY
Say it with some authority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
Talkin' 'bout a man named Gibson
More drama than Henrik Ibsen
Gibson don't stand up for us
But we wakin' up-- kickin' up a fuss
Time we taxed every millionaire
No cuts-- cover all with Medicare
Stand up for Social Security
No privatization-- but purity
Fully fund our kids' education
Here in NY-- and across the nation
Stand up for Planned Parenthood
Gibson out soon-- so it's all good
Say it with some authority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
From the youth to the seniority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
Whether you're twenty, sixty, or forty-- WE ARE THE REAL
MAJORITY
Say it with some authority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
Supreme Court wrong-- corporations ain't people
Shout it from the church the temple the steeple
Hey hey hey now it's all the rage
Everyone deserves a living wage
Save our water from hydrofrackin'
'Fore it's too late-- Donald Duck be quackin'
Long past time-- bring our troops home
From all over the world-- where they roam
Say it with some authority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
From the youth to the seniority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
Whether you're twenty, sixty, or forty-- WE ARE THE REAL
MAJORITY
Say it with some authority-- WE ARE THE REAL MAJORITY
