I wrote the song below last March during Chicago’s mayoral runoff, but the title applies more than ever, far as I’m concerned. A week after Rahm’s election, Barbara Byrd Bennet, who he picked to run our schools, got indicted by the feds for corruption. Then a 14 month coverup of a policeman’s murder of Laquan McDonald, a black teenager, comes to light. Oh, and remember when Rahm said to vote for him cause his opponent would raise taxes? How’s that working out?
I coupled the song “Don’t need No More Rahm” with a slide show, and I’m posting it below. When the video’s running, if you click on the share arrow in the upper left hand corner, you can download the video.

Lyrics:
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
CLOSES DOWN OUR SCHOOLS
TREATS US LIKE FOOLS
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
CRIME’S UP IN OUR TOWN
ELSEWHERE IT’S GOING DOWN
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
CAMERAS AT THE RED LIGHTS
HIS FACE ON TV EVERY NIGHT
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
GIVES TAX BREAKS TO RICH GUYS
GIVES US A PACK OF LIES
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
A BIG PAL OF RAUNER,
HE WINS, CHI’S A GONER
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
CUSSES OUT LADIES
HE’S LIKE A DOG WITH RABIES
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
TAXES OUR iPHONES
NEXT HE’LL TAX OUR DIAL TONES
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
HE’S GOT THE BEST FRIENDS A BUCK CAN BUY
AND THAT’S THE REASON WHY WE
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
DON’T NEED NO MORE RAHM
