lyrics

This is a sad tale of people betrayed
Sold out by their leaders who stand in the way
And under the thumb’s where they’re happy to stay
Complaining their hands are tied

With deals, defeats and compromise
They manage to keep workers paralysed
Parasitical bureaucrats in disguise
As union men on our side

All this talk of the struggles of yesteryear
But when the class war breaks out too fierce or too near
And the conflict might threaten their comfy career
Watch them step in to mediate

Our fights are just part of their industry
And they’ve more in common with the bosses you see
Aiming high for a place in the bourgeoisie
They’ll find ways to make us wait

For too long we’ve been paying our dues
To help these bastards ensure we lose
We won’t be bought off with a few more pence
Going on the attack is our best defence
Our lives are worth more than a measly wage
No more will they represent our rage
Revolutionary change, don’t let them co-opt
When we realise our power we won’t be stopped

We have to find ways to turn our disputes
Into sacking the system, giving bosses the boot
Because their world is only fit to loot
Let’s rock, then sink their boat

Don’t listen when they say our struggle’s outdated
And demands are best negotiated
No Way! Get organised and agitate
Get the boss’s foot off your throat
