Lyrics: Imagine its your birthday party
and someone brings a cake
it looks so good and you just cant wait for a piece
time comes to cut it up
and something goes terribly wrong
20 people at the party, 10 dont have any cake at all
5 people just have a bite
4 have tiny slices
1 greedy bastard has got the rest of the cake in a vice grip
This is whats happening in our country now
weve got such inequality
and most of us dont really see
and you know that Ive loved Hillary
for quite some time
well that time is done, shes just another vessel of lies
and backed by
goldman sachs and merrill lynch and the rest of wall st.
I hear this discourse of hopelessness
like theres nothing we can do to fix our country
entrenched in corruption, were in too deep
well I disagree
Weve got an opportunity
his name is Bernie
Well hes backed by Unions, never run a negative ad
hes callin out the billionaires, no wonder hes so madIm mad too, and I hope you are
pernicious political power play
Has gone too far
We need a change we need to all try something different
and if youre gonna say you hate the government
then GO OUT AND MAKE IT DIFFERENT
We have an opportunity
and his name is Bernie
I beg you to go and read
about this candidate
save the hate
nothing will ever change if you
keep talking that way
Bernie Sanders
Wake up, hes the answer
Theres more of us normal folk
than there are of the powerful
Bernie Sanders
Wake up, hes an answer
to all of the corruption
thats traumatized our Nation until now
If you wanna how
to get involved its not that hard
just go on the internet
but youve gotta give a shit
and I hope you do
Cause I live here how about you
and Im not ready to give up on our nation just yet
we gotta get get get get get Bernie Sanders

OP
Whoops. It appears that I got all excited about a reply that probably isn't Bernie's.

OMG. Removing "nt" to say: What an awesome young lady and what an awesome song. (I k&r'd initially on general principles.) Thank you so much for providing a transcript.

some help in doing it more professionally. Hope she takes them up on it. She has a great voice and it's a great song.
