Give Mike Gravel a Chance!

Here is Mike Gravel with a video protesting his exclusion for the recent Democratic Debates. It is obviousl John Lennon inspired and though the background images look like something from a 1970s Saturday morning cartoon, or Schoolhouse Rock I really did like the song and agree with the message so here it is.

I actually liked it so much I transcribed the lyrics; dropping knowledge, yo

And if you don't remember or know what this was obviously inspired by here's John Lennon's Give Peace a Chance (lyrics here), with a secondary influence by John Lennon and the Plastic Ono Band "Power to the People" (lyrics) and that saxophone sounds really familiar but I just can't place it.
