One big union

[struggle4progress]

when the paycheck just ain't stretchin like it might have once before
cause the good jobs all are gone and left you in some big-box store
between food rent and medicine seems the suits rate a whole lot more

when the bosses cut that last corner and you walk out those doors
when the truckers hauling sweatshop stuff won't stop there anymore
when folks won't cross your pickets cause their boat's the same as yours
that is one big union

when the nickeled and the dimed have had enough of being screwed
when they walk out of the sweatshops and the cops refuse to shoot
when the puppet regimes fall, when the world bank gets the boot
that is one big union

they call it a labor surplus
market-value poverty
but what if that which ye do to the least of my brethren
so you do unto me?
