Aretha Franklin's Think

In one of her great, girl power songs, Aretha Franklin gave us a call to freedom.  It was a parody I couldn't resist as it needed so few changes to make it a political statement.  I would love to hear a tea party crowd singing this song.

Think

You better think (think)

think about what you’re doing in DC

Yeah think (think, think)

what you’re doing to this great country

Let’s go back – let’s go back,

Let’s go way on back to the founding men

They passed the Bill of Rights

Including that amendment number ten

I’m not an academic

I don’t have twelve degrees

But it don’t take a high IQ

To see what you’re doing to me

You better think (think)

Think about what you’re doing in DC

Yeah think (think, think)

What you’re doing to this great country

Oh freedom, (freedom)

Let’s have some freedom (freedom)

Oh freedom, yeah freedom

You got to have freedom (freedom)

Oh freedom (freedom)

We need us some freedom

Oh freedom

We got to have

Hey, think about it

You, think about it

There aint nothing we could ask

You could answer us but you won’t

All we want is to live free

but it’s clear letting us you won’t

You better think (think)

think about what you’re doing in DC

Yeah think (think, think)

what you’re doing to this great country

Stripping away our freedoms

You’re Just special interest whores

Doing nothing while we lose our jobs

Well be careful or you’ll lose yours

Oh think (think)

Think about what you’re doing in DC

Whoo Hooo, think (think)

What you’re doing to this great country

You need us

We don’t need you

If you won’t listen

We'll find us someone new
