Well Stanik said he wants us back to work but we're still out here
Locked out on the picket line, though it's hard we persevere
We've been willing to work but they kicked us out the door
It's just another chapter in the epic novel of class war
Oh they take and take and take while we give and give and give
And when we ask for our share, they crack us with the whip
But power comes in numbers and there's more of us than them
So spread the word and hold the line and never, I said never, give in
They bargain for their bottom-line while we bargain for our kids
Our families' welfare at stake, our lives spent around carcinogens
While theirs are filled with earnings and the profit-margin grows
So we stand together and show that power comes from below
We look towards the future while we learn from the past
If we take the bait they offer, then our kids will end up trapped
in a far worse situation, with far worse demands
So as they push us we need to all together take a stand
Give us our jobs, give us our pay, our pensions, and our health
We brought you through the hard times, it's been us who've brought you wealth
Unlikely your greedy motives that lead you to rob us blind
our fight is honest, for our lives, with nothing to hide behind
