"march on wisconsin"

(words & music by ron leary © 2020)

march on wisconsin
don’t be pushed around
‘cause we know what’s right
and what we’re hearing is just wrong
march on, march on

it’s a coup d’etait by the corporate class
they tried to slip it past
when no one was looking
but they were caught in the act
march on, march on

i hear voices growing day by day
releasing decades of belt tightening
joining hands yelling “shame, shame, shame!”
shame shame, shame shame

you’ve been told keep your mouth shut
let the experts shed light
while they drain pockets in one great heist
shame shame, shame shame

there’s a chance this is the first you’ve heard
‘cause the media’s been sold off
to just a very small rich few
those who control the message
we all know they rarely lose
‘til today in wisconsin
we’re learning there’s a brand new day
march on, march on

this ain’t just about worker’s rights
it’s an attack on democracy
and that’s what they got
square in their sights
shame shame, shame shame

now it’s no time to just stand around
stretch your legs and your mind
let wisconsin know that we’re all behind
stretch your legs and your mind
let wisconsin know that we’re all behind
march on, march on

march on wisconsin
don’t be pushed around
