A new parody for use when you sing protest songs in the streets. Based on David Rovics' new Pirate Radio Song, with a link to the original song.

Parody by Mark E. Smith and Rady Ananda, Nov. 2007 (Pirate Radio Song by David Rovics)http://www.diymedia.net/audio/mp3drovics.htm   (with much apology to David Rovics)


This is how it started; it's not hard to understand
From coast to coast they're lying at a CEO's command
From vendors to officials, all across the whole country,
They’re spewing fake results from their high-tech wizardry.

Let's have our own elections.  Ignite our freedom's flame

(Chorus)
