We Don't Need No Corporations, Do We?

from I'm Just An Average Cosmic Being! by Dada Veda

/

about

The corporation has been the main form of business organization for hundreds of years, but is it the best form that we can come up with? This song suggests that a cooperative model could give rights and dignity to all members as well as prosperity. As the lyrics state, you may not agree with this now, but one day you will.

lyrics

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

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

Let the workers in a place guide their fate
Let’s give them a voice, give them a stake.
They’ll become the owners and managers too
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!)

It’s time to sweep the traders from the temple, let’s do it.
Give the boot to the wheeler-dealers, let’s do it.
Let’s watch the power of cooperation
Open the door to our liberation.

We don’t need no corporations, now do we.
We don’t need no exploitation, now do we.
We want our right to live and thrive
Just as long as we're alive
We don't want no corporations, do ww?
