lyrics

Brothers and Sisters
Have you heard.
They’ve been listenin’ to our calls
Scanning every word.

But when we ask them
To lend a helping hand
They don’t listen to a word we say
They claim they can’t understand

Working two jobs
Still it just ain’t enough
Trying to keep their bellies full
Has never been so tough

Everyday’s a struggle
Just trying to make ends meet
Get sick and miss a week of work
And we’ll be living on the street

They push, they shove, they chip away
We scratch, we claw, we find a way
They lie, they cheat, they steal our pay
We live, to fight, another day

Don’t give up the struggle-unite
People got to stand up and fight (repeat)

The rich get richer
And the poor get poorer
They’re ringing us for every cent
And yet they still want more

Our Mothers & Sisters
Doin’ the best they can
But no matter how hard they work
They won’t be paid like a man

Profits over people
That’s the name of their game
But the people have had enough
And we refuse to play

So when they tell us
That there’s no other way
The people must chant them down
The hour’s getting late

They spy, harass, and hack away
We must resist, and disobey
They say that we should hope and pray
There’s got to be another way

Don’t give up the struggle – unite
People got to stand up and fight

Don’t give up the struggle – unite
Brothers got to put up a fight

Don’t give up the struggle – unite
Sisters got to fight for what’s right.
