Lyrics

WORK & STRUGGLE

[Chorus]

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle and death

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle for less

[Chorus]

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle and death

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle for less

[Verse 1]

There's blood on the banks of homestead

There's blood in the banks of Wall Street

Robert Owens gave birth to the eight hour day

The boss wants it down in a grave

[Verse 2]

Poison the rivers, slaughter the cows

Build up the prisons, burn forests down

Food to the landfill, patent the seeds

They waste your labor and your dignity

[Pre-Chorus]

They want to use you up and steal your soul

They want to use you up and steal your soul

[Chorus]

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle and death

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle for less

[Verse 3]

Perpetuate violence, surveilled privacy

Serving evictions, deny basic needs

Following orders, just do what you're told

They'll leave you with nothing, just a flag to fold

[Verse 4]

They rob the world blind, never pay for their crimes

They've got us trained like rats

So we organize on the boss' dime

We don't have to live like this, like this, like this

[Pre-Chorus]

They want to use you up and steal your soul

They want to use you up and steal your soul

[Bridge]

Bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left

Bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left

They're gonna bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left

They'll bleed you to death

[Chorus]

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle and death

Work and struggle and be grateful for it

Work and struggle for less

[Refrain]

Work and struggle for less
