about

Capo III
song is in Bb
Verses go G-Am-D-C
chorus goes F-G-F-G-F-G-D

lyrics

I’ve washed dishes for the bosses
I’ve made coffee for the rich
I’ll labor for the wealthy
but I’ll never be their bitch
I’ve worked all through the night
I’ve worked all through the day
they can tell me what I have to do
but never what not to say

(chorus)
they don’t have to let us unionize
or negotiate for better pay
but when they beg the poor for mercy
we’ll laugh and say no way

they can spread out my scheduled hours
stretch me thin but still part time
they can have my battered body
but I won’t let them have my mind
they don’t have to give me benefits
or pay me a living wage
but one day their burning fortunes
will light a brighter age

(chorus)

they can lobby to the government
to let them burn us at both ends
but no corporate exec’s profits
will be worth the poor’s revenge
the time is quickly coming
when we won’t take it anymore
we’ll torch the corporate offices
and barricade the doors
