2004: ROCKEFELLER CENTER CHRISTMAS CAROLING ACTION
“Jingle Bells”
Jingle bells, the system smells, tax money goes to waste, We need to fix the system now; we need to act with haste.
Give us homes, it costs much less, than paying shelter fees, Put money back, in Section 8, so we’re not left out here to freeze!
Jingle bells, the system smells, putting people on the street, Homeless people need your help, to live and sleep and eat!
“Oh
Homeless Me”
O homeless me, o homeless me
We homeless don’t need sympathy. A place to live, that’s what we need High rents will feed the landlord’s greed.
O homeless me, o homeless me
We homeless don’t need sympathy.
We’ve all heard of Section 8 But now it’s gone, it is too late.
A place to live, a place to live, That’s what we need, not sympathy.
A cardboard box, a cardboard box, This is my home; they changed the locks.
The Mike plans to force us out, Please call the ones with budget clout.
A cardboard box and frozen feet, This is my home right on the street.
2004 Shelter Campaign Chant: Shelter money is poorly spent
Give us the money to pay our rent!
