Story behind the song
I wrote this after watching the Democratic Presidential debates in Chicago.
Lyrics
Verse:
It's time for a change
Slipping into hopelessness
I can't take much more of this
We need a candidate
With the heart of the people
Who sees us as equals
You're making promises that sound good to my ears
But will you remain faithful to them
Now if I vote you don't do like others do
Don't you forget about us
Hook:
Don't forget about us
When you're on your job
When you make them laws
Remember we need y'all
Don't forget about us
When you spend them funds
Think of the small ones
Remember we need y'all
Verse:
Economy is suffering
A million people losing jobs
Someone tell me what went wrong
What happened to our liberties
They were taken in the night
When they knew we couldn't fight
You're making promises that sound good to my ears
But will you remain faithful to them
Now if I vote you don't do like others do
Don't you forget about us
(HOOK)
Bridge:
Oh look at all the lonely, lonely, lonely people
Oh don't you forget about us
(HOOK)
