The Radical First Amendment Song Book

Copy 'em, plagiarize 'em, personalize 'em

Many of these tunes were born during our recent conflict with Sembler Co. over the right to protest the war on the public sidewalk, but I am sure everyone has their own hometown version of Sembler, so if you are reading this and you aren't local, just do a global "search and replace" on Sembler and BayWalk. We also have a growing selection of all-purpose government mockery tunes. If you have one you'd like to share, drop me a line at carol@stpetefnb.org.

Remember kids, mocking public officials who have a dubious grasp on reality is fun for the whole family and it won't cost you a dime!
