lyrics
Now, if you want higher wages i tel u was to do
u gotta talk to the workers in the shop with you.
gotta build you a union, and make it strong,
ya if we all stick togetha it won't be long.
we’ll get shorter hours,
better working conditions
Vacations with pay
ya we can go the seashore.
It ain't quite this simple, I better explain
Just why you got to ride on the union train.
'Cause if you wait for the boss
to raise your pay,
We'll all be a-waitin' 'til Judgment Day.
We'll all be buried and gone to heavens,
and ol St. Peter, he’ll be the straw boss then.
Now you know you're underpaid but boss says no way
They speed up the work 'til you're 'bout to faint.
you be down and out, but you ain't beaten,
- [x] u can pass out a leaflet and call a meetin'.
you can Talk it over oh speak your mind,
and Decide to do somethin' about it.
You got a union now, and you're sittin' pretty,
Put some of the kids on the steering
committee.
The boss won't listen when one guy squawks,
But they got to listen
when the union talks.
oh they’re gonna be
gonna be so lonely
when the union decides to walk on them!
suppose they’re working you so hard it's just outrageous
and now they’re paying you starvation wages.
you step up to the boss, the boss would yell,
"Before I raise your pay, I’ll see you ALL in hell."
now they’re puffing a cigar
and feeling mighty slick
'Cause now they think they got your union licked!!!
well they looks out the window
what does they see?
But a thousand pickets held by you and me,
oh now baby baby, is the hardest time,
The boss will try to bust your picket line
they’ll call the police, and the National Guard,
They'll tell you it's a crime to have a union card
Amazon Labor Union, here's what they found,
Starbucks Workers United, here's what they found,
You'll win.
take it easy
you’ll win
take it easy
you’ll win
