General Strike

General strike, that's what the radio say
 General strike, yeah it's come to a head
 General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
 General strike, they're shutting it down
 See the rich been getting richer
 While the poor getting sicker
 Government saw record profits
 We'll all feel it but no better
 And there was no use in talk
 From the wrong end of the stick
 Gridlocked in a deadlock
 Had to organise quick
 See a hungry man is an angry man
 It's gonna blow up, when the president can
 You see the picket lines, you see the picket signs
 There's a door to walk out, no one left behind
 General strike, that's what the radio say
 General strike, yeah it's come to a head
 General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
 General strike, they're shutting it down
 The government call it
 Civil disobedience
 But for the people on the ground
 It was the last line of defense
 You see the powers that be
 They want the carnival dead
 And no guns and no tear gas
 Could stop the workers that stayed
 See a hungry man is an angry man
 It's gonna blow up, when the president can
 You see the picket lines, you see the picket signs
 There's a door to walk out, no one left behind
 General strike, that's what the radio say
 General strike, yeah it's come to a head
 General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
 General strike, they're shutting it down
 See a hungry man is an angry man
 It's gonna blow up, when the president can
 You see the picket lines, you see the picket signs
 There's a door to walk out, no one left behind
 General strike, that's what the radio say
 General strike, yeah it's come to a head
 General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
 General strike, they're shutting it down
