A Whole Lot More Cooperation
Lyrics Copyright 2015
by Peter Bergel
Tune: A Whole Lot More of Jesus and a Lot Less Rock’n’Roll
From the album “Peace Is Where You Make It”
Domination is all around us
Takin’ shapes that are too many to name
It’s built right into our culture
And we’ve all gotta share the blame
Chorus
We need love instead of profits
And we got to make this our creed
We need a whole lot more cooperation
And a lot less corporate greed.
We got to put away the carbon-based power
We got to put away the nuclear bomb
We got to figure how to feed the hungry
Not blow the world to Kingdom Come
Chorus
I don’t work for a big corporation
Won’t let the fat cats steal my sweat
The system doesn’t work for poor folks
And I’m not about to work for it
Chorus
You know we’ve got to protect our planet
‘Cause it’s the only one that we’ve got
We can’t put poison into our water
And make our air radioactively hot.
Chorus
