Proud to Support Pacifica
Proud to Support Pacifica
(in the patriotic style of Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA)
After Clinton clobbered Sanders
And Trump beat us and won
We scream and screech:
Resist! Impeach!
Still getting nothin' done
We wasted campaign dollars
While we can't pay our own debts
But there's still one station
One safe place
For Snowflakes on the Left....
Yeah, I'm Proud to support
Pacifica
Where Free Speech don't come free
So I'll give up lunch
To pledge each month
To save my sanity
Cuz I'd rather raise up
A million bucks
To build bridges not more walls
Through stations spanning this great land
All run by Liberals!
From our humble roots at Berkeley
To our newest in D.C.
We came back when
The Klan attacked
And bombed K P F T
Where Ray Hill's famous Prison Show
Has multiplied worldwide
From K P F K in L.A.
to W B A I
That's why I support
Pacifica
And Progressive Unity
(And I overcharged my credit card
To get that pledge from me!)
Cuz I'll gladly cough up (cough!)
A hundred bucks
When Peace and Justice calls
*To fill the Bands of Radio land
With crazy Liberals!*
[Optional third verses for video:]
** With Democrats still fighting
More divided than the right:
Should we exit? Should we stay?
The Workers must Unite!
Why throw our hard earned dollars
At crooks who sell us cheap?
The People ARE the Government
When we practice what we preach!**
That's why we support
Pacifica
And invest our money there
To educate, and liberate***
With Power we can share***
It only takes a few bucks
From each of us
To help Communities
Defend Free Choice and Equal Voice
For true Democracy!
Yeah, we're Proud to support
Pacifica
And invest our money there
Uniting people left and right***
With Power that we share***
Only takes a few bucks
From each of us
To build Communities,
Defend Free Choice, and be the Voice
Of true Democracy!
[Alternative Lyrics, for music video of
unhappy activists fighting, crying and
protesting in angst and anger:
* "To fill the Bands of Radio land
With mis'rable Liberals!"*
**[may omit or insert third stanza]**
***"Electing Boards
That sit and hoard
The Power that we share"***]
-- Pacifica fundraising theme song
For proposed radio and video contest
Dedicated to Ray Hill and Dr. Kamau
for their Birthdays, October 2017,
and in honor of Bill Crosier and
Houston Progressives and Musicians
to raise enough capital to pay off old debts
and to finance a second station for music
and business community development in Houston:
Congratulations to everyone at Pacifica,
for keeping it together while moving forward!
Love, Thanks, Justice and Peace for all,
