Forum Post: The Peoples Plea

The Peoples Plea By Chuck Dunlap October 2011

It doesn’t feel good to be singing this song But I have to tell you that something is wrong We’re not represented in D.C. no more When they lie to your face just so they can make more Our leaders have failed us The time is at hand To think for ourselves every woman and man The truth is that we have the voice and the power To pull them all down from their ivory tower

Stand and let your voice be heard Stand and let your voice be heard Stand up speak out this is still our country Stand and let your voice ring free

Corporations are not people And greed’s not success One percent making more And ninety-nine percent less We used to make our own products For good jobs and good pay Now we’re lucky just to make it Through just one more day

They stole your retirement Outsourced your jobs They got a patent says they own The corn on your cob When it’s illegal for a farmer To save his own seed We got to stand up right now To this damn corporate greed

Stand and let your voice be heard Stand and let your voice be heard Stand up speak out this is still our country Stand and let your voice ring free

Now let’s talk religion How would Jesus feel When he saw people sick Or just needing a meal He made the lame walk He made the blind see He fed five thousand people And he did it for free

He didn’t charge when he helped you Didn’t ask you to pay Didn’t donate to people’ Who would give him his way He didn’t look down his nose At the people in need The only time he showed anger Was over bankers and greed

Stand and let your voice be heard Stand and let your voice be heard Stand up speak out this is still our country Stand and let your voice ring free ..
