lyrics

Brooklyn baby, dad immigrated, Polish-American Jew
Four eyed, hair of white, got ‘em shaking in their shoes
Goldman and Lehman won’t know what hit ‘em
He will clean up wall street’s mess

And now we’re with him
always with him
Bernie Sanders is my pres'

Jesus freaks, out in the streets,
Bernie may not be your man
Church and state, separate,
Bernie knows that that’s the plan

Started out mayor, a major player,
In the Vermont punk rock scene
Civil rights, he fights the fight,
heard firsthand Dr. King’s dream

But, oh, how it is surreal,
tying in Iowa
Only we can make him candidate

If we just vote in the primaries

You’re getting closer, Bernie Sanders
Count donations from the people
Lay your plan out on the table
Get money out of politics today

You’re the closer, Bernie sanders
Fix the wage gap, schools and highways
End the school to prison pipeline
And bring the troops back home today

Feel the Bern
Feel the Bern
