Ready for Warren

"Run Liz Run" +

2:29 video, July 18, 2014.

[Music] Female Singer: Americans want our next president to be a woman.

Hey babe here's looking at you, Senator, Elizabeth Warren.

The planet is warming and the power is shifting.

We need a leader who won't stand for all the Wall Street bullsh.., the lobbyist grifting.

Run, run, run.  Run, Liz, run.
You gotta run for the office and get the job done.
Run, run, run.  Run, Liz, run.
We need a president.  We need President Warren.
A president.  We need President Warren.

You shoot straight and tell the truth that we've been chipped, squeezed and hammered.

People think that the system is rigged because it is, and it's time that we stand up.

The contract we've known has been cheated and broken.

We need a leader who won't stand for all the corporate bullies, political cronies.

Run, run, run.  Run, Liz, run.
You gotta run for the office and get the job done.
Run, run, run.  Run, Liz, run.
We need a president.  We need President Warren.
A president.  We need President Warren.

So you're rich.  That's fantastic and God bless.

But there's just a couple of things Liz Warren won't let you forget.

Nobody got rich on their own, not nobody.

Everybody needs bridges and streets to succeed.

Run, run, run.  Run, Liz, run.
You gotta run for the office and get the job done.
Run, run, run.  Run, Liz, run.
We need a president.  We need President Warren.
A president.  We need President Warren.
A president.  We need President Warren.

[Music stops]
[Cheers]  Man chanting: Run, Liz, run.

Notes: This video was released in conjunction with Netroots Nation 2014, and consists of scenes from NN14 of Ready for Warren supporters handing out hats and signs, holding signs and waving signs, intercut with a several clips of Warren speaking (she is not heard, just the video).  Although Philip Bump, writing at the Washington Post's "The Fix," says that the singer "has a casual relationship with meter and rhyme," it has a catchy chorus.
