War on the Workers

Listen up,
 We got a warzone here today
 Right in our heartland
 and across the USA
 These multinational bastards don't use tanks and guns
 its true
 but they've declared a war on us
 fight back its up to you
 Oh its a war on the workers
 (War on the workers)
 Oh its a war on the workers

 Oh its a war on the workers
 and its 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
