Rank and File

I used to roll among the hourly

I used to listen to them piss and moan

I watch you cut the throats of all of them

and monitor it from a boardroom throne

I swore that I would never take the path

that leads me down another dead end road

I will not cower to the corporate grind

you wouldn't dare to cross the picket line

Pain to pride

work is uninspired

Tried and true

so I walk the wire

I don't mind

If I bleed a while

Feels so right to be Rank and File

till I die

I used to live life like a passerby

Afraid to run I was afraid to walk

Now I'm a soldier in the union strike

We stand together we will never fall...
