If Clinton's a Progressive...

"Hillary Clinton has a clear political record: she is pro-war, and pro-business, and anti-human."

— David Rovics





Lyrics:



It's election time again and the battle's pretty tight

On the left is Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump is on the right

On the Democratic ticket there's a struggle for the base

And Hillary is showing her most progressive face

She says we know she's an outsider because she's female

But if Clinton's a progressive then I'm a killer whale



She'll take on the banks, she says, if we let her run the nation

But this is the woman who voted for deregulation

Now she says the TPP should be summarily aborted

But every trade deal heretofore she's actively supported

If she felt that way before then why wait so long to tell us?

If Clinton's a progressive then I'm Wynton Marsalis



Service to the people has always been her mission

That's why she's always striven to send so many of them to prison

She lobbied for the crime bill, she lobbied to gut welfare

Now she emerges from her mansion to pretend she really cares

I guess she figures if she lies enough folks will eventually believe her

But if Clinton's a progressive then I'm a Golden Retriever



If I were a gambler I'd bet you my John Thomas

That this deceptive politician will go back on every promise

I'd love to elect a woman, but not just anyone's daughter

Though I'd happily vote for Cynthia McKinney or Maxine Waters

But I'll be damned if I must choose between two more plutocrats

If Clinton's a progressive then I am Bill the Cat
