War On The Workers Lyrics

Listen up,
We got a warzone here today
Right in our heartland
and across the USA
These multinational bastards don't use tanks and guns
its true
but they've declared a war on us
fight back its up to you

Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
and its time we started calling the shots

Going to work could be the death of you and me
But we're not unarmed--Our weapon's solidarity
Jim Beals and Karen Silkwood
The list goes on and on
With every year that passes 60, 000 more are gone

Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
and its time we started calling the shots

When theu boost your co-pay (war on the workers)
Don't you know what to say? (war on the workers)
When they talk privatization (war on the workers)
When they talk privatization (it's a war on the workers!)
And co-operation (war on the workers!)
When they call you "a team" (war on the workers!)
You'd better learn how to scream (war on the workers!)

Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
and its time we started calling the shots

They can lock us out, they can lock us up -- We cannot give in No more lies, no compromise! We'll battle til we win!

Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
and its time we started calling the shots

When they talk "flexibility" (war on the workers!)
every working stiff can see (war on the workers!)
When they poison your water (war on the workers!)
Don't go like lambs to the slaughter (war on the workers!)
When they foul up the air (war on the workers!)
You've gotta show that you care (war on the workers!)
When they talk WTO (war on the workers!)
We should be screaming HELL NO! (war on the workers!)

Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers

Its a war on public education
its a war on child labor protection
its the eight hour day
its a war on occupational health and saftey
its a war on social security
Now thanks to WTO, GATT, NAFTA, MAI, the IMF and the World Bank
it's a world wide war

Oh its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
yeah its a war on the workers
(War on the workers)
Oh its a war on the workers
and its time sisters and brothers
you know its time right now,
I said its time we started calling the shots
