1- O Evergreen
(To the tune of O Christmas Tree)
O Evergreen, o evergreen,
O how I love your beauty
O Evergreen, o evergreen
O how I love your beauty!
Not only green in summer’s heat,

But also with winter’s snow and sleet.
O Evergreen, o evergreen
O how I love your beauty!
O olive tree, o olive tree
Of all the trees most beloved;
O olive tree, o olive tree
Of all the trees most beloved.
Your branches bear fine olive fruit
You are the symbol of peace and motherhood
O olive tree, o olive tree
Of all the trees most beloved.
O earthly trees, o earthly trees,
To you we send our prayers.
O earthly trees, o earthly trees,
To you we send our prayers.
Your bright green leaves give us healthy air,
With no more trees life would despair.
O earthly trees, o earthly trees,
To you we send our prayers.

2- Oh Just Look At Us With Horror and Tears
(To the tune of Come to Me for Comfort and Joy)
It was that in some Texas town a woman where she lived
Was violated and raped by a relative
In some nine months an unwanted baby would be born
Oh just look at us with horror and tears, horror and tears
Oh just look at us with horror and tears.
With agony and rage the woman did dispair
An event that neither judge nor jury nor md would repair
So that in nine months time a baby boy was born
Oh just look at us with horror and tears, horror and tears
Oh just look at us with horror and tears.
The shame and with the sadness the woman couldn’t cope
She ended her precious life using a strong rope
Nine years her boy went from foster to foster home
Oh just look at us with horror and tears, horror and tears
Oh just look at us with horror and tears.
The boy a young man now did not understand the world
Violence and drugs surrounding him and so many times paroled
Twenty nine years passed and that’s when he killed a man
Oh just look at us with horror and tears, horror and tears
Oh just look at us with horror and tears.
On death row he was put and so he lingered in prison
More violence and brutality, no hope for his releasin’
Nineteen more years passed before he was put to death
Oh just look at us with horror and tears, horror and tears
Oh just look at us with horror and tears.
Society failed the woman, baby, boy and young man
It is that we’re all guilty of this horrific state of our clan
How many years will go by until we understand and act?
Oh just look at us with horror and tears, horror and tears
Oh just look at us with horror and tears.

3- Bling, Bling, Bling
(To the tune of Jingle Bells)
Strutting all the way
With his puffed up blond toupee
His spirits being high
Gloating all the way, yep, yep, yep.
Billionaires are gay
No need to go and pray
Money will be flowing
Oh what a great soirée. Hey!
Bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
Spending all the way
Oh what fun it is to fool
The American people yay. Hey!
Bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
Money in the bank
Oh what fun it is to cheat
people of lower rank. Hey!
Tariffs make life harder
Availability less, more barter
People will pay more taxes
And services are cut, no matter.
Hey!
Homelessness much more
High rents hurt people to the core
Food prices are through the roof
Affordability out the door.
Hey!
Bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
Spending all the way
Oh what fun it is to fool
The American people yay. Hey!
Bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
Money in the bank
Oh what fun it is to cheat
people of lower rank. Hey!
What a tragedy we see
Or maybe a comedy
War, poverty and hunger
Pleasant it won’t be. Hey!
There won’t be Christmas cheer
Everyone will live in fear
When his promises come true
From the madman and his cronies here. Hey!
Bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
Spending all the way
Oh what fun it is to fool
The American people yay. Hey!
Bling, bling, bling
Bling, bling, bling
Money in the bank
Oh what fun it is to cheat
people of lower rank. Hey!

5- AI is Coming to Town
(To the tune of Santa Claus is Coming to Town)
You better watch out
You better comply
You better not shout
I'm telling you why,
AI is coming to town.
They’re making a list
Not checking it twice
They’ll find out who’s been naughty, not nice,
AI is coming to town
They know you what you are saying
They know when you're awake
They know when you've been bad or worse
So mind your mouth for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better comply
You better not shout
I'm telling you why,
AI is coming to town
They’re making a list
Not checking it twice
They’ll find out who’s been naughty, not nice,
AI is coming to town.

6- We The Judges of SCOTUS Are
(To the tune of We Three Kings)
We the judges of SCOTUS are,
Accepting gifts from near and from far
Right-wing leaning, somber proceeding
Following our TV star
O lead forever, our new king
Making deals that quickly bring
More riches to the one percent
Fear and hunger to the rest
We the judges of SCOTUS are,
believers in freedom, we'll set the bar .
Regulations in your way? Others can pay.
Following our TV star
O lead forever, our new king
Making deals to quickly bring
More riches to the one percent
Fear and hunger to the rest
Labor unions and the press retreat,
jail all opponents and the “elite”
We’ll stomp big government while you sleep
Following our TV star
O lead forever, our new king
Making deals to quickly bring
More riches to the one percent
Fear and hunger to the rest
New prisons for profit, opportunities renewed
All immigrants and enemies are screwed.
Banish the disabled, divergent and frail
Following our TV star
O lead forever, our new king
Making deals to quickly bring
More riches to the one percent
Fear and hunger to the rest
We the judges of SCOTUS are
Repressing the masses, we’re above par
More nuclear plants and drill baby drill
Following our TV star
O lead forever, our new king
Making deals to quickly bring
More riches to the one percent
Fear and hunger to the rest

7- Joy to the World
Joy to the world, for women have come.

Let earth receive their gifts.

Let every heart offer them a huge welcome,

And have nature and creatures sing,
and have nature and creatures sing,

And have nature, and nature, and creatures sing.
Life to the world when women reign

Let men their songs employ;

While fields, forests and the seas, orchards, mountains and the plains

Repeat the sound of joy,
repeat the sound of joy,

Repeat, repeat the sound of joy.
Freedom to the world where no sorrows grow,

Nor thorns infest the ground;

Women come to make their blessings flow

Far as their love is found,
far as their love is found,

Far as, far as, their love is found.
Peace rules the world with truth and grace,

And makes the nations live

In harmony and kindness, their fruit of their righteousness,

The wonders of women’s love,
the wonders of women’s love,

The wonders, the wonders, of women’s love.

8- Just Say NO!
(To the tune of Let It Snow)
Oh the news are clearly frightful,

And fracking is NOT delightful.

And since we’ve nowhere else to go.

Just say NO! Just say NO! Just say NO!
There are no signs of stopping,

We’re all in it but the shopping.

Oil demand needs to go down low.

Just say NO! Just say NO! Just say NO!
When we finally understand our plight

How we’ll hate to observe all the storms!

We really need to hold together tight,

To make sure there are no more alarms.
The planet is slowly dying,

And people! there is no denying.

As long as you love Earth so.

Just say NO! Just say NO! Just say NO!

10- Silent Night
Silent night, ominous night
All is dark, full of fright
Migrant mother carrying the child
And baby infant so tender and mild
Sleep in earthly peace
Sleep in earthly peace
Silent night, ominous night!
Vigilantes quake at the sight!
Directives are given from afar
Border patrols grunt Al-le-lu-ia!
Deport them back to their lands!
Deport them all back to their lands!
Silent night, ominous night!
Cruel leaders, give them fright
With the army let us bring
Destruction from our elected King
No kind savior is here,
No one to save you is here!
Silent night, ominous night!
Sons of evil, hate’s pure might
Flashing beams from their frightful big guns
At the dawn we see mother and sons
We shout ‘We are in your debt’
We shout that we’re in your debt!

11- Do You See What I See
Said the water drop to the tiny seed:
"Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, tiny seed
Do you see what I see?
A cloud, a cloud dancing in the sky
With a belly full of rain
With a belly full of rain"
Said the tiny seed to the little lamb:
"Do you feel what I feel?
Falling rain from the cloudy sky,
Do you feel what I feel?
My roots, my roots growing down below
And a trunk that will take me up high
And a trunk that will take me up high."
Said the little lamb to the mighty trees:
"Do you know what I know?
In your soft shade, oh mighty trees
Do you know what I know?
We can all live protected from the sun
And I can frolic and have lots of fun
And I can frolic and have lots of fun."
Said the trees to the creatures everywhere:
"Listen to what we say
Pray for peace everybody everywhere
Listen to what we say
This earth, this earth, we must give her our love
And she’ll bring us goodness and growth
She will bring us goodness and growth”.

12- Thank you
(To the tune of Gloria in Excelsis Deo)
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings.
Peoples we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains they reply
Echoing their joyful refrains
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings.
Nations, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous calls prolong?
What are the gifts to be?
Which inspire your worldly song?
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings.
Come with us and you will see
All Earth’s beauty that nations sing;
Come and marvel what makes you free,
All Earth’s gifts that she will bring.
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to Earth for all her blessings.

13- Pity the Nation
(Spoken word - but has been put to music too)
Pity the nation whose people are sheep, and whose sheperds mislead them.
Pity the nation whose leaders are liars, whose sages are silenced, and whose bigots haunt the airwaves.
Pity the nation that raises not its voice, except to praise conquerors
and acclaim the bully as hero, and aims to rule the world with force and by torture.
Pity the nation that knows no other language but its own and no other culture but its own.
Pity the nation whose breath is money and sleeps the sleep of the too well fed.
Pity the nation - oh, pity the people who allow their rights to erode and their freedoms to be washed away.
My country, tears of thee, sweet land of liberty.
Lawrence Ferlinghetti - 2007

The people of Palestine.

Let us sing and let’s all stand
“Glory to the new born land,
Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
All the peoples reconciled!”
Joyful, all ye nations rise,
Join the echoes of our cries;
What the hopeful news proclaim,
“Peace is born in Bethlehem!”
Let us sing and let’s all stand
“Glory to the new born land!”
Messengers of hope and peace!
Humanity is the true Righteousness!
Light and life to all we bring,
To all families with broken wings.
We relay our desperate cry,
So that no men no more may die,
ascertain that all men will learn,
ascertain that everyone will return.
Let us sing and let’s all stand
“Glory to the new born land!”
Come together nations, come,
Let’s fix for all this humble home;
Rise and plant life giving seed,
Help in the harvest for all to feed.
Blessings from below and above,
Reinstate peace and love.
Let us sing and let’s all stand,
“Glory to the newborn land!”
