Imperial Walker

by IfIHadAHiFi

1.
Sell off the government with slight of hand Strip the rights away from the working clans The governor's declared war on behalf of his benefactors Dispatching Imperial Walkers to the capitol door Open for business Everything must go Now we're rebel soldiers marching in the snow Fourteen senators on the lam A state line away from the Empire's hand Giving all of us time to make like Bothan spies Spreading information far and wide Breaking through the lies Ten thousand, twenty thousand, sixty-five If you screw us we will multiply Face down the Imperial Walker The puppet prince can't make us paupers Take down the Imperial Walker Imperial Walker, Imperial Walker Face down the Imperial Walker The puppet prince can't make us paupers Take down the Imperial Walker Imperial Walker, Imperial Walker So Mr. Governor, you may wish us ill As we take over your buildings fueled by pizza from Brazil Threaten our schools, threaten our jobs, we took a vow To stop you cuz we're all Wisconsin now So we'll march all day Play the drums all night This is what happens when you poke a badger in the eye

about

IfIHadAHiFi couldn't be prouder of our Wisconsin roots and our state's progressive heritage. The current assault on working Wisconsinites on the part of our current governor is an affront on that heritage, and an all-out class war on our beloved state's working class. The least we could do was show our support in the tried and true tradition of the old-fashioned working-class protest song.

100% of the proceeds from this download will go to Russ Feingold's new Progressives United PAC. Progressives United was formed to take on the ever-growing influence of corporate America in our political process, as further empowered by the Supreme Court's erroneous "Citizens United" decision. Nowhere in the country right now is that influence felt more dramatically than in Wisconsin, where the Koch Brothers currently work in tandem with Governor Scott Walker to bust public sector unions. Visit www.progressivesunited.org to learn more about Mr. Feingold's latest venture.

We couldn't have made this project happen without three fantastic people: Shane Hochstetler, who generously donated the use of Howl Street Recordings for no cost; and Nick Ehlert and Dan Siercks who donated their weekends, also at no cost, to engineer and assist, respectively. Amazing people in this town.

IfIHadAHiFi are Yale Delay, MrAlarm, DrAwkward, and Rev.Ever.

(NOTE: IfIHadAHiFi are not affiliated with Progressives United--we just want to show them some love.)
