Modern Day Labor Anthem

Lyrics

Some people will go for years, without ever finding their place
 Not us we are the lucky ones, for we know who we truly are
 Not privy to abstract thinking, reality's a trusted friend
 Not giving in to idealism, we'll stay real 'til the end
 PUNCH THE CLOCK!
 I don't ascribe to things, being tougher these days than the days before
 People have been getting by for years, on mental toughness and the grit
 Hey we're just workers, confident and realistic, we know where we stand
 Hey we're just workers, not going crazy over events or current trends
 Staying focussed on our duties, and good times 'til the end
 Don't have any axes to grind, or agendas to seek
 Accepted our place in life, got comfort in being meek
 Don't have any axes to grind, any words to search
 A total comfort in where and who we are since our birth
 Today's organized worker is an endangered species.
 For corporate terrorism is cloaked in the guise of fiscal downsizing
 amidst a company recording huge profits. For today's worker, fair
 and humane treatment with adequate wages are now just old
 memories, nailed into an outdated history book. Which doesn't help
 the current masses of mistreated workers, who are unable to
 organize because of fear of reprisals, from profit hungry greedsters
 ala Gordy Gecko. How do these CEO thugs and mobsters in good
 conscience export American jobs day after day?
 How much is enough?
 Or to these robber barons is there such a thing or a concept of enough?
 How many cars do you need?
 How many boats?
 How many houses?
 How many financed mistresses?
 How do you look in the mirror?
 How can you sleep at night?
 Well just remember this, all that you self-righteously stand for...
 WE WILL FIGHT!
