Bring the Billions Home

They tell us there’s no money for jobs or health care plans, But there’s always lots of money for war in far off lands, We spend it all for war, not for schools or homes, that’s true, So do it today, the Granny way and Bring the Billions Home! We spend three trillion dollars to send out kids to war, Not all our kids, ya know, but just the brown, the black, the poor, They had no hope that they’d get jobs in the good ‘ol USA, So do it today, the Granny way and Bring the Billions Home! It always seems to be the rich who profit from our wars, They don’t care if we live or die as long as they make more, They keep our wages low, but watch their own climb through the roof, So do it today, the Granny way and Bring the Billions Home! We think that corporations must truly love the poor, In fact, they love poor folks so much they keep creatin’ more, They slash our pay and benefits and send our jobs off shore, So do it today, the Granny way and Bring the Billions Home! We stand here in (Seattle) and sing our simple song, We want to see our taxes kept at home where they belong, It’s time to tell Obama we won’t take it anymore! So do it today, the Granny way and Bring the Billions Home!
