Have You Been to Jail for Justice?
War on the Workers
[Intro]
B7(#9)          Am
Em D C B7(#9) A B7(#9)
[Verse 1]
Listen Emup, we've got a Cwar zone here tB7(#9)oday
Right in our Emheartland, and aCcross the USBA
These Ammultinational bastards don't use Emtanks and guns it's true
But Amthey've declared a war on us, fight Bback! It's up to you
[Chorus]
There's a Amwar on the workers
There's a Emwar on the workers
There's a B7(#9)war on the workers
And it's Amtime we started B7(#9)calling the EmshotsB  
[Verse 2]
Going to Emwork could be the Cdeath of you and Bme
But we're not unEmarmed - Our weapon's CsolidariBty
Jim AmBeals and Karen Silkwood
The Emlist goes on and on
With Amevery year that passes sixty Bthousand more are gone
[Chorus]
There's a Amwar on the workers
There's a Emwar on the workers
There's a B7(#9)war on the workers
And it's Amtime we started B7(#9)calling the Emshots
[Verse 3]
When they Amboost your co-pay, (it's a war on the workers!)
Don't you Emknow what to say - (it's a war on the workers!)
When they talk Amprivatization (it's a war on the workers!)
And Emco-operation (it's a war on the workers!)
When they Amcall you a "team" (it's a war on the workers!)
You'd better Emlearn how to scream (it's a war on the workers!)
[Chorus]
There's a Amwar on the workers
There's a Emwar on the workers
There's a B7(#9)war on the workers
And it's Amtime we started Bcalling the Emshots
[Pre-chorus]
They can Clock us out, they can lock us up - EmWe cannot give in
CNo more lies, no compromise! We'll Bbattle til we win!
[Chorus]
It's a Amwar on the workers
It's a Emwar on the workers
It's a B7(#9)war on the workers
And it's Amtime we started Bcalling the Emshots
[Verse 4]
When they talk Am"flexibility" (it's a war on the workers!)
Every Emworking stiff can see (it's a war on the workers!)
Now when they Ampoison our water (it's a war on the workers!)
Don't go like Emlambs to the slaughter (it's a war on the workers!)
When they Amfoul up the air (it's a war on the workers!)
You've gotta Emshow that you care (it's a war on the workers!)
When they talAmk WTO (it's a war on the workers!)
You best be Emscreaming HELL NO! (it's a war on the workers!)
[Chorus]
Oh, it's a Amwar on the workers
It's a Emwar on the workers
It's a B7(#9)war on the workers
It's a Amwar on public education
It's a Amwar on child labor protections
It's a Amwar on the 8 hour day
It's a Amwar on occupational health & safety
It's a Amwar on social security
Now thanks to AmWTO, GATT, NAFTA, MAI, the IMF and the World Bank
It's a world wide war
[Chorus]
It's a Amwar on the workers
It's a Emwar on the workers
It's a B7(#9)war on the workers
And it's Amtime, sisters and brothers
You know it's Emtime right now
I said it's Amtime we started B7(#9)calling the Emshots
