You don’t have to take this crap! You don’t have to sit back and relax!

You can actually try changing it

I know we’ve always been taught to rely… Upon those in authority -

But you never know until you try… How things just might be -

If we came together socially

Are you gonna try to make this work? Or spend your days down in the dirt?

See things can change, yes.  And walls can come tumbling down!

Governments crack and systems fall

‘Cause unity is powerful

Lights go out! Walls come tumbling down! Yes they do!

The competition is a colour TV We’re on still pause with the video machine

That keep you slaves to the H.P.

Until the Unity is threatened by – Those who have and who have not-

Those who are with and those who are without.

And dangle jobs like a donkey’s carrot -

Until you don’t know where you are

Are you gonna get to realize? The class war’s real and not mythologized!

And like Jericho – Yes  the walls came tumbling down!

Down! When you’re united!

Are you gonna be threatened by the public enemies at No. 10 ?

Those who play the power game?

They take the profits – you take the blame -

When they tell you there’s no rise in pay

Are you gonna try to mend this world? Or spill your tears down in the dirt?

Lights go out! Walls come tumbling down!

My local paper has this story listed in “death notices:”

Texas lawmakers consider privatizing inmate care

AUSTIN — Texas lawmakers facing a projected shortfall in the next two-year budget have discussed plans to hire private medical vendors to care for state prisoners.

The state more than 15 years ago hired the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and Texas Tech University to help treat inmates. Madden says the system has become a national model for prisoner treatment costs.

I do wonder what kind of private care is likely to be cheaper than that at teaching hospitals.

I wonder if they’re thinking about using this “health care” provider I recently learned about when they appeared on our list of newly added clients. And btw — this racket is based in Texas. Anybody surprised? I wasn’t. I guessed it before checking.
