The owning class is clamoring to us the workers' money bring
let them live on 'straps and 'string
and eat their boots now things are lean
some workers they manipulate
to take the blame & agitate
to put their families' lives at stake
so masters' profits they can make
ch:
they say they know that many more will die
even dare to call it the "frontline"
and thank you for your sacrifice now go and make those pies
you're essentially expendible, at 7.25
the plutocrats in congress say
the urgency has gone away
the owning class has had their day
33trillion plus is on the way
and socialism won't hold sway
help the worker stay alive
but not enough to really thrive
comfort takes away the drive
to die for 7.25
ch:
they say they know that many more will die
even dare to call it the "frontline"
and thank you for your sacrifice to make my portfolio rise
you're essentially expendible, at 7.25
the president called this a hoax
and his followers he tries to coax
to mingle while they praise his boasts
then to the market they'll be thrown
distance, now the white house rule
is too extravegant for you
get back to work you lazy tool
and when you break, they'll get one new
ch:
they say they know that many more will die
even dare to call it the "frontline"
as they're stepping up the class war, you know they could be right
'tis time my fellow workers for the general strike
his wealth he thought would insulate
he thought his power was too great
that virus would not dare invade
his callous white house pallisade
he will now be tested every day
maybe 4 times, even eight
but you can all just play roulette
he wants that burger on his plate
ch:
they're scheming even now on how
to siphon off our bank accounts
congress plans to help them out
their priorities are not in doubt
but workers have their own demands
in states and towns across the land
they're walking out to make a stand
this need not go to bastards plans
ch:
they say they know that more will die
even dare to call it the "frontline"
as they're stepping up the class war, you know they must be right
'tis time my fellow workers for the general strike
