lyrics

Solidarity Man has been beaten down
Broken down skeleton of his old self
Buried down in a grave by the river bank
By the company agents of apathy
The game is on but it's hard to see
The view is better from the luxury suites

They've got us by, they've got us by
They've got us by ankles and wrists
Clocking out and clocking in
They've got us locked. they've got us locked
They've got us locked in cubicles
Waiting for our lives to begin

Ghost of Joe Hill keep them awake at night
Company men with their money brides
They're penthouses turn into prison cells
When we have the courage to say "No sir!"
"No sir!" "No sir!" "No sir!" "No sir!"

They've got us by, they've got us by
They've got us by ankles and wrists
Clocking out and clocking in
They've got us locked. they've got us locked
They've got us locked in cubicles
Waiting for our lives to begin
And if we wait, and if we wait
And if we wait we'll lose the race
Wait for our number to come in
If we walk out, if we walk out
If we walk out we'll grind the gears
And we'll bring down the machine

No sir....
