(26,315 posts)If we simply make them feel welcome
And make it clear that this is a place that is hospitable
We need to be the party of those left out in the cold by the status quo
Even with the intemperance they sometimes display
The people drawn to the Sanders message have a better handle
It's simple
If we say we won't stand up to corporate power
If we put the rich man's priority
Which is what treating Bernie and his supporters must mean
Over and over and over again
Corporate power, status quo
What would we gain by choosing never to be popular
Never to stand for anything again?
No longer having any reason to exist?
Fomenting, folks
Corporate power, status quo
A prophet without honor, if we drive his supporters away
As doing all of that means we must vow
The 'All that matters are big doners faction'
Those that don't threaten the rich and can't liberate anyone
Do we WANT to be stuck in November 2016 for the rest of eternity?
The passion, the fierce urgency -- we can't wait!
So why even chance it?
Corporate power, status quo
The passion, the fierce urgency
