Good things take a long time, long time don’t you know?
Trouble can come on fast, but good things happen slow.
Get off that fast track, mmm-mmm
Big train is a comin’, called the TPP,
Trans-Pacific Partnership, and baby, it ain’t free.
Get off of that Fast Track, no TPP.
Corporations and Senators, standing at the switch;
Good people of America can’t tell which is which.
Get off that fast track, no TPP.
It’s goodbye constitution, goodbye democracy.
It’s gonna haul your job away with no apology.
Get off that fast track, no TPP.
TPP is only free for the one per cent.
You talk about your freedom, but that ain’t what they meant.
Get off that fast track, no TPP.
TPP ain’t even, even about trade.
It’s all about just taking down the progress we have made.
We’re racing to the bottom, digging our own graves,
We’re back to child labor, man, we’re slipping back to slaves.
They’ll come to get you, middle of the night.
Once they get it going, we’ll never put it right.
Get off that fast track, no TPP.
Good things take a long time, long time don’t you know?
Trouble can come on fast, but good things happen slow.
Get off that fast track, no TPP.
