I think you can't understate the importance of music in past political movements (Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Marvin Gaye, CCR, John Lennon, to name a small few). I wanted to write a song in the spirit of those times, and here it is!

Lyrics: Bernie why don’t we elect you my friend

Just let me know where I can drop my vote in

Sure naysayers will shout and they’ll cry on the news

Ignore them and show what the people can do.

Trade deals and riots and no middle class

Economy’s crumbling and it’s crumbling fast

The world of our children will be poisoned and grey

If oil spills and carbon keep paving the way.

Bernie there aren’t many out there like you

Who challenge the flow and the status quo too

It seems like each person in office has been bought

Hillary says she’s clean, but I’m guessing she’s not.

And some say your socialist leanings are wrong

But I say that word’s been feared for too long

If socialist means that we mandate fair play

Then call me a socialist and lock me away.

And no, I don’t know what’s best for everyone

But it ain’t the agenda of Capitol One

Big banks and CEO’s don’t think past their greed

And don’t seem to care if the rest of us bleed

And Bernie I think that you have us in mind

The everyday people who work in the grind

Who look out for our families and loved ones and friends

Who just want to know that of this madness will end

And I’m not gonna say you’re a savior in white,

Though if you’ve heard my song you’ll know I think you’re alright.

It just seems to me that you mean what you say,

And man, that’s rare in politics today

If you can’t make it, we won’t give up on the plan,

Cause the battle’s not lost when you lose the lead man

There’s still lots of us with plenty at stake,

Leader or not, we must make our own fates.

So Bernie know you’ve inspired lots of us

And we’ll help you campaign and we’ll make a big fuss,

We know it’s time to make changes within

And I think that helping you’s a good place to begin.
