Lyrics by Victor René Sadot
Music: sung to the tune of "We Shall Not Be Moved"
Album: 9/11 Truth & Justice Songs
Vic Sadot's Crazy Planet Band
This song was a 2009 lyrical update of the Civil Rights era marching and sitting-in song, "We Shall Not Be Moved". The lyrical creation was done by Vic Sadot for the torture accountability movement in Berkeley where John Choon Yoo is a Constitutional Law professor at UC Berkeley.
John Yoo took a leave from teaching during the Bush-Cheney administration and he became infamous for writing legal briefs to justifyin' the use of torture and to claim dictatorial powers for the Presidency. Code Pink Golden Gate Chorus sang on this song recording made by Blair Resse.
