We Don't Want Your Millions, Mr.
Okay, yeah, I'm not sure what to call it.
We could have a caller,
the winning title gets a free trip to KPFK and Mexican food.
Okay.
[C#] [F] [F#]
We don't want your millions, Mr.
We [B] don't want your [F#] watch and chain.
[A#m] [B] All we want is [F#] our newspaper.
So [B] give us [C#] back the [F#] times again.
Well, there are so many fewer pages.
[A#] [B] Editors, good writers [F#] too.
It's [B] a shame, but [F#] we still read it.
And that [C#] is why we say [F#] it again.
Now don't sell out to the Koch brothers.
[C#] Don't [A#] [B] let the brothers in [F#] the door.
We [B] don't want them taking [F#]
over.
[B] And that [C#] is what we're marching [F#]
for.
When it comes to union busting,
[B] they're the best that's [F#] ever been.
When [B] it comes to dirty [F#]
money,
[B] they're [C#] the worst you ever [F#]
[B] seen.
[F#] Cancer towns [C#] and gross [F#]
pollution
[B] have been their stepping [D#m]
[F#] stones.
[B] Even public [F#]
education, for sure,
is [C#] one more thing they've [F#] trampled on.
[D#m] [F#] I can hear [C#] [F#] Otis Chandler
[G#] [A#m] [B] up in heaven [F#] or down in hell
saying, who's [B] that singing [F#] about unions?
[B] [C#] That's a topic I knew [F#] so well
because I was [C#] raised to [F#] hate the unions.
And the [B] working man, without [F#] a doubt,
I'm [B] pleased to say that Dave [F#] and Charlie,
[B] they [C#] know just what I'm [F#] talking about.
But if we sing, [C#] we get [F#] strength and power.
If we [B] clam up, we'll get [F#] pushed around
by [B] the no -Koch's [F#] Koch brothers
and [B] [C#] they'll take charge of our [F#] little old town.
So we don't [B] want [F#] your millions, mister.
We [B] don't want your watch [F#] and chain.
[B] [F#]
All we [B] want is our [F#] newspaper.
[C#] Give us back the [F#] times again.
[B] [F#] Thank
