lyrics

We're fighting for our families, we're fighting for ourselves
We're fighting for our futures and we're fighting for our health
'Cause when they push us and we don't push back like dominoes we fall
So when we push back for one, we push back for all

We responded to your pleas, helped keep the company afloat
But when the market started booming you went straight for our throats
50% raises for top management while you make incredible demands
to end our health insurance and our retirees' pension plans

We spend our days working with carcinogens while you spend yours with a pen
Signing orders to betray us when we stop giving in
But now you've gone too far, you've locked us out, and if you think we're going to bend
you'd better think again because we're in this 'til we win

Oh Calgon, Oh Calgon, you're day is coming soon
You don't know what you're up against, we're the 5032
All we want is a fair contract and justice for us all
You can try to bring us to our knees but we're standing tall
