“Bernie” begins:
I’m gonna talk to voters at the old town hall
I’m gonna tell ‘em we don’t need no wall
I’m gonna rant and rave about billionaires
Ain’t gonna take a break to comb my hair
I got money in the stacks
Forget your super PACs
Bernie bros in back
You would think this is a frat, now
Got a chance to see
Mayor Pete’s ID
We’re both born in ‘83
But in different centuries.
