Tune: Battle Hymn of the Republic
Carfentanil’s an opioid
That makes an elephant drunk
One hundred times more toxic than
The morphine-mental funk
We have to find the reason why
Street drugs are laced with JUNK
Who profits from this crime?
CHORUS
Sing for health and social justice
March for health and social justice
Work for health and social justice
Harm Reduction is humane!
Street opioids are everywhere
Our young folks they do kill
We’re tired of people dying from
Contaminated pills
Who profits from addictions and
Prescribing too much too….
Harm reduction’s just humane!
CHORUS
Sing for health and social justice
March for health and social justice
Work for health and social justice
Harm reduction is humane!
Safety sites are vital tools
Let’s give our heads a shake
It’s better that we’re SAVING lives
Than moral stigmas make
We need political gumption
To confront this ugly state
Harm reduction’s just humane!
CHORUS
Sing for health and social justice
March for health and social justice
Work for health and social justice
Harm reduction IS humane!
