lyrics

We Don’t Need No Corporations
by Dada Veda, copyright 2021

Capo on 2nd fret
E
We don’t need no corporations (do we?)
We don’t need no exploitation. B7 (do we?)
E
We want our right to live and Thrive
A
Just as long as we’re alive
E B7. E
We don’t need no corporations (do we!)


I can vote for the president but not the boss
B7
that’s not democracy and that’s my loss
E A
Here’s something better, you’ll one day agree
E B7 E
Let’s run everything cooperatively.


Let the workers in a place guide their fate
B7
Let’s give them a voice, give them a stake.
E A
They’ll become the owners and managers too
E B7. E
Prosperity will flow to me and you.

That’s why:

We don’t need no corporations (do we?)
We don’t need no exploitation (do we?)
We want our rights to live and Thrive
Just as long as we’re alive
We don’t need no corporations (do we!)

E
It’s time to sweep the traders from the temple, let’s do it.
B7
Bid farewell to the wheeler-dealers, let’s do it.
E
Let’s watch the tide of cooperation
A
Open the door to our liberation.
E B7 E
We don’t need no corporations, do we.
We don’t need no exploitation, do we.
We don’t need no speculation, do we.
