Song of the Billionaires for Fee Hikes
Tune: Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
If you can’t pay tuition We have got a tip for you
Just go and sell a kidney
You need only one not two
We only like the students
Who can pay up front with dough
If you don’t have the money
Sorry kid you’ll have to go
Kidneys are a good re-source
You need just one to live
We won’t have to pay more tax
You will be the one to give…..for
Learning is not important
Poor folks do not count we say
We will import trained workers
Let some other country pay!
Project 2025
Lyrics by: Margaret Villani
Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the coming of American royalty
Anointed by the Court Supreme with all immunity
To prevent a presidential king, it’s up to you and me
So Democracy marches on
CHORUS:
Power lust is never satisfied
Billionaires, they want to rule our lives
Pay low wages and jack up our living costs
Enough! Demand your rights!
I’ve seen warnings written in a hundred news reports
Project twenty twenty five our freedoms will abort
With a tyrant on Day One our rights will be under assault
Will a king be president?
CHORUS:
Power lust is never satisfied
Billionaires, they want to rule our lives
Pay low wages and jack up our living costs
Enough! Demand your rights!
Destroy a hundred years of protective regulation
It’ll only take a day or so of signing proclamations
Clean air and water, living wages, public education
Gone by the stroke of a pen
The king fires civil servants, fifty thousand or more
Hires his politicos, who loyalty have sworn
Obey the king, right or wrong, legalities ignored
They serve in submission
CHORUS:
Power lust is never satisfied
Billionaires, they want to rule our lives
Pay low wages and jack up our living costs
Enough! Demand your rights!
(slow): Enough! Demand your rights!
No Kings for June 14 2025
Lyrics by: Granny B
Gaggle: Raging Grannies Action League
Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
Date Written or Updated: 06/01/2025
He thinks it’s his right to be royal
With absolute power to rule,
Demanding to him we be loyal.
That’s not what they taught us in school.
Chorus
No kings, no kings.
Democracy calls for no kings, no kings.
No kings, no kings.
Democracy calls for no kings.
He’s arrogant and hifalutin.
It’s clear that he cares not for us.
He glorifies tyrants like Putin,
Throws allies right under the bus.
He wants a parade in his honor
With thousands of soldiers and tanks.
Because this old man has no honor,
Let’s stand up and tell him, “No thanks.”
Oh, this is no time to be resting.
His grifting is lasting too long.
Come join us in peaceful protesting.
With many together, we’re strong.
America the Sorrowful

How sorrowful when human rights
Are met with such disdain.
When mercy is the laughing stock
While power is the gain.
America, America, you’ve lost humanity.
Resentment for the weak and poor
Will be your undoing.
How sorrowful when hatred holds
The gavel and the scales.
How beautiful for humankind
When selfless love prevails.
America, America, abandon hate and greed.
There’s so much more worth living for
That starts with you and me.
