Re: [acb-chat] FW: NFL changes national anthem policy to ban kneeling

So, here's my National Anthem...the words, at least. Anyone have a
lively tune to go with it?
Carl Jarvis
****

Sing out to the Working Class People of the good old US of A.

All hail the mighty People.
The Ones who built this Land.
The backbone of this nation,
They've earned a rousing hand.
The rich men stand before their flag,
And Bless that sacred cloth.
But Workers know it's nothing more
Than dinner for a Moth.
Our glory is not in some old rag,
with red and white and blue.
Our Glory is in the Working Class,
Folks like me and you.

So sing a song to your Brothers,
And sing to your sisters, too.
Sing, "Power to the People"
To the Many, o'er the Few.
