Listen up
We got a war-zone here today, right in our heartland and across the USA
These multinational bastards don't use tanks and guns, it's true
But they've declared a war on us, fight back it's up to you!
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers
And it's time we started calling the shots
Going to work could be the death of you and me
But we're not unarmed - Our weapon's solidarity
Jim Beals and Karen Silkwood
The list goes on and on
With every year that passes 60.000 more are gone
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers
And it's time we started calling the shots
When they boost your co-pay (war on the workers)
Don't you know what to say? (war on the workers)
When they talk privatization (war on the workers)
And co-operation (war on the workers!)
When they call you "a team" (war on the workers!)
You'd better learn how to scream (war on the workers!)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers
And it's time we started calling the shots
They can lock us out, they can lock us up -- We cannot give in
No more lies, no compromise! We'll battle til we win!
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers
And it's time we started calling the shots
When they talk "flexibility" (war on the workers!)
Every working stiff can see (war on the workers!)
When they poison your water (war on the workers!)
Don't go like lambs to the slaughter (war on the workers!)
When they foul up the air (war on the workers!)
You've gotta show that you care (war on the workers!)
When they talk WTO (war on the workers!)
We should be screaming HELL NO! (war on the workers!)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers
It's a war on public education
It's a war on child labor protection
It's the eight hour day
It's a war on occupational health and safety
It's a war on social security
Now thanks to WTO, GATT, NAFTA, MAI, the IMF and the World Bank
It's a world wide war
Oh its a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Yeah it's a war on the workers (War on the workers)
Oh it's a war on the workers
And it's time sisters and brothers
You know it's time right now
I said it's time we started calling the shots
