Chants, Slogans, Poster Text
Oversight is what we need
To save Iraq from corporate greed.
No bid contracts. What a crock.
Give Iraqis back Iraq.
Wipe the dollar signs from your eyes
Let Iraqis unionize.
If freedom truly is the prize
You'd (We'd??) let Iraqis unionize.
Drop big bombs and steal their jobs.
To free Iraq, we kill and rob?
U.S. companies run amok
To give the shareholders another buck
Corporate agenda in thin disguise
Won't let Iraqis unionize.
Iraqi economy up for sale
As workers starve on a low wage scale.
What do we want?
- Iraqi unions
- Contract oversight
- To end this godforsaken chanting, pleeeeeeeeeease
When do we want it?
Now.
This corporate piggy went to I-raq (I-raq) [pronounce EEE-RACK]
This piggy lobbied at home. (at home)
This piggy overcharged millions (millions)
left the Iraqis with none. (no!)
Send the corporate piggies HOME! (repeat)
Cheney and Halliburton, what do you know...
making corporate pockets grow!
Send your friends to Iraq!
Give them millions in kickbacks!
Congress you gotta do your job!
Don't give in to corporate slobs!
(slow) We need oversight!
(slow) We need oversight!
Solidarity Forever!
Unions in Iraq!
Workers here and there unite
We will help you with your fight
Iraqi workers need the jobs,
The ones that US companies rob
War is over
US go home
Iraqi workers
You're not alone
War for profit, Corporate stocks
Give Iraqis back Iraq
Bush and Cheney are great big hawks
It's war for profit in Iraq
No-bid contracts for Iraq
Screw the worker and help the stock
A little poem:
War profiteering
Is endearing
When you are Brown and Root.
But, those in Iraq
Know it's a crock
Cuz it's their jobs we loot.
A corporate looter with D.C. ties
Bechtel (Halliburton) profits as Iraqis die.
Schools in shambles, sewage flows
As Bechtel's profits grow and grow.
Halliburton overcharges, Bechtel flops.
A reconstruction nightmare in Iraq.
Your profits are bloody. Your hands are, too.
Bechtel, Halliburton, shame on you.
(or, maybe just chant the one name where you are.)
Bechtel, Bechtel, whadya say?
How many Iraqis did you loot today?
Bush and Bechtel: great big hawks.
It's war for profit in Iraq.
Bech-tel out of Iraq!
Let them have their country back!
Schools and hospitals still in need!
How much 'cause of corporate greed?!
Piggy Piggy!
We're not ashamed
to call you by your real name
Halliburton, Bechtel, Brown and Root
go to Iraq and loot, loot, loot!
(to the tune of Mickey Mouse)
B-E-C - See Bechtel steal
H-T-E - and Exploit its workers
L-C-O-R-P
Bechtel Corp - in Iraq, Bechtel Corp - in Iraq
Forever may you leave Iraq for good - Bye! Bye! Bye!
Come along and sing our song and get them off the pork
B-E-C- H-T-E-L, Bechtel Corp!
Give me a B  (B!)
Give me an E (E!)
Give me an C (C!)
Give me an H (H!)
Give me an T (T!)
Give me an E (E!)
Give me an L (L!)
What does that spell?
Criminal!
Workers suffer, Bechtel lies
Iraqi workers unionize
Bechtel steals and Bechtel lies
Oh! what influence money buys!
Bechtel steals and Bechtel lies
Corporate thieves with DC ties
