[Verse 1]
CWhen you start negotiations
With inFtegrity and patience
And they Bbjust cry "Battle stations!"
What’s to Clike?
CWhen you ask a small amount and
Then enFcounter counter’s counter
And the Bbdeal is tantamount to
C"Take a hike"
DYou can’t sit around with your head in the sand
G#You pull it out, you stand up and
You Cstrike
[Verse 2]
CWhen you hear their lawyers talking
Saying oFur behavior’s shocking
It’s conBbvincing as a cockney
Dick Van CDyke
CWhen they leave the town unstable
Then they Fcome back to the table
And say Bb"Now we should able-
Kidding ! CPsych!"
DWe ask them for bread and get "Let them eat cake"
G#They figure a stomach ache will break
The Cstrike

BbSo strike - For all the writers
EbStrike -For the living wage
UnFmtil these wrongs are Cmrighted
We won’t Dwrite another Gpage
Wipe Foff that smile - The sCtyle is bile
And rDage is all the Grage

There Fappears a bunch of splinter
Groups who Bbwonder what this Inter-

[Verse 1]

When you start negotiations

With integrity and patience

And they just cry "Battle stations!"

What’s to like?

When you ask a small amount and

Then encounter counter’s counter

And the deal is tantamount to

"Take a hike"

You can’t sit around with your head in the sand

You pull it out, you stand up and

You strike

[Verse 2]

When you hear their lawyers talking

Saying our behavior’s shocking

It’s convincing as a cockney

Dick Van Dyke

When they leave the town unstable

Then they come back to the table

And say "Now we should able-

Kidding ! Psych!"

We ask them for bread and get "Let them eat cake"

They figure a stomach ache will break

The strike

[Chorus]

So strike - For all the writers

Strike -For the living wage

Fm Cm

Until these wrongs are righted

D G

We won’t write another page

F C

Wipe off that smile - The style is bile

D G

And rage is all the rage

[Verse 3]

As the fall turns into winter

There appears a bunch of splinter

Groups who wonder what this Inter-

Net is like

While the tide is turning tepid

And the town is feeling trepid-

Atious time for us to step up

To the mic

We’ve got all these dynamite plots to use

It’s time to light the fuse or lose

The strike

[Chorus]

(strike) And lose we did

(strike) Impressively

Fm Cm

Slunk back to our offices

D G

Declaring victory

Fm C

If you need your residual

D G

Why did you all agree

[Outro]

I’m proud I walked the line

With writers, fans and friends of mine

Bb C

But now I ask what was this finally about?

And years from now I’ll tell my tyke

Just what it feels like to strike

.....Out?
