Strike!

Wages aren't keeping up with inflation
Got no healthcare, no sick time
The boss just keeps on ripping you off
No one's policing corporate crime
From the steel mills to the hospitals
Classrooms to factory floors
From small towns to big cities
We're learning where our power lies
From Starbucks to Amazon
Miners to grad students
New York to Oklahoma
We're done believing the bosses lies
And we can strike!
Shut it down!
If we don't get it?
Shut it down!
We're all struggling and things are getting worse
And you can't fix it on your own
But of course they owe us a living
Healthcare, groceries, and a home
You can't beat the bosses at their own game
And most politicians? Just the same
But I wish them the best of luck
Running their system without us
So this could be step one
Sign a union card, but you're not done
Win what you can today
But if you want a bigger change, we might have to say...
Strike!
Shut it down!
If we don't get it?
Shut it down!

Go Down Fighting

These are hard times
I look at the news every day, I don't think anything will turn out fine
And I've been losing sleep
Because global warming is out of control and there are fascists marching in the streets
Sometimes I want to quit
I could just get drunk and watch TV and let it all go to shit
Because things are looking bleak
The future's looking frightening
But there's one thing I know:
I'd rather go down fighting
We're lost if we don't try,
Try to do the right thing
But if we're going down
I'm gonna go down fighting
It's hard not to cry
About a world where ignorance is cultivated and facts denounced as lies
And the odds are long
Because they've got all the guns and money--we've got each other and some songs
Are we too far gone?
To tell you the truth, I'm not so sure but we've got to struggle on
