LOCAL LIBRARY (an antifascist song)

Long live the local library
Where we can read our books for free
Enjoy the opportunity
To satisfy our curiosity

Don’t let it ever victim be
of cutbacks and austerity

Hands off our local library
Where knowledge can be found for free
Our bulwark of diversity
Our center of community

Don’t let it ever victim be
Of the book-banning fraternity

Fight for our local library
A fortress of true liberty
Suggesting what a school could be
Without enforced authority

Don’t let it ever victim be
Of fascists and their bigotry
