lyrics

A descent fucking wage, a descent day's pay
Is all I ask for my working day
But wealthy men of higher birth would refuse to pay what I was worth
And hired goons to stand in my way

And they dare to call me a communist while they're paying off the mob
And lobyists to legally steal and rob
A descent fucking wage, a descent day's pay
Is all I ask for my working day

Fists aloft with picket signs on trembling knees we stood in lines
With courage in our hearts we stood aligned
I seen hungry men form picket lines screaming for justice carrying signs
Out on the docks or down in the mines

But some men have the will to live and angry hearts that don't forgive
Who will insist on an even break and won't be nailed to no damn stake
A descent deal and descent pay ain't much to ask for the working day
So be a man and do the right thing and treat me like a human being
I ain't no beast I ain't no slave so don't make my working life my grave

Alex writes what he wants to write and flat out refuses to be pinned down. Hopefully it all fits (of course it do). ... more
