Song #47 – Call To Action
I originally intended for this song to be donated to the Bernie Sanders campaign. I am a big fan of his and am proud to have organized two fundraisers here in Rochester, one at the Historic German House and one at Anthology, both having raised enough money to open a campaign office. Both also brought a ton of people together… firstly, I got to pull all of my favorite Rochester artists together for truly inspiring evenings, but we also pulled together with a ton of activists, artists and open minded forward thinkers for two truly revolutionary events. I was a bit bummed he didn’t get the nomination, but the system is quite corrupt, as we all know. I haven’t given up, and I’m glad Bernie hasn’t either! He’s definitely inspired a ton of people of all ages and backgrounds to get involved in the political process, and that is where the true change will occur.
Below are the lyrics and chords for this song in case anyone wishes to know it more intimately than a simple listen.

A call to action I’m making
This time we will take to the sky
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
The devil just spit in my eye
I laughed as he tore off his diaper
Collapsed himself into the fold, a folded wrapper
He laughed at the candy I’d eaten
Collapsed himself into the fold
D – Bmin
Bodies wiggling up and down
With your belly tumbling over
Bodies wiggling all around
With then your hands waving over, run
Then stop on a dime and turn
I figured it’s time that you learned
This is a call to action
Action does not require a gun
D – A – D – Bmin
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it one day
D – A – D – Bmin – D – A – G
A different flavor where cleverly people enjoy living life
They speak their favorite tongues with a lust for more
Look in their eyes!
They’re wild for the fullest and greatest
To live each day better than truth
A look at the newness of sameness
So different from back in their youth
D – Bmin
Bodies wiggling up and down
With your belly tumbling over
Bodies wiggling all around
With then your hands waving over, run
Then stop on a dime and turn
I figured it’s time that you learned
This is a call to action
Action does not require a gun
D – A – D – Bmin
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it
That’s it I’m sure we can make it home
F#min – A – D
I finally sold myself for the right price
Baby gets a bonnet and a pocket full of money
I finally sold myself for the right price
Baby gets a bonnet and a pocket full of money
I finally sold myself, now I’m feeling nice
Living in the way I want doing what I like
I found the universe robbed all of my time away
I felt me get all busy
Forgot to pay attention
Was in detention for the mention of a system wrench
I sorta pissed on it, and it pissed them off
Bmin – F#min
D – Bmin
Bodies wiggling up and down
With your belly tumbling over
Bodies wiggling all around
With then your hands waving over, run
Then stop on a dime and turn
I figured it’s time that you learned
This is a call to action
Action does not require a gun
Does not require a gun, son
Bmin – F#min
