Which Side Are You On? --Occupy Wall Street

Come all of you humans,

Good news to you I'll tell,

Of how that revolution

Has come in here to dwell.

CHORUS:
Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

Which side are you on?

My daddy was a union man,

And I'm my father's son,

And I'll stick with the union,

Till every battle's won.

They say down on Wall Street,

No human can relax.

You'll either be with anonymous,

Or a thug for Goldman Sachs.

Oh, Policemen can you stand it?

Oh, tell me how you can.

Will you be a hired thug,

Or will you be a man ?

Don't scab for the bosses,

Don't listen to their lies.

Us poor folks haven't got a chance,

Unless we organize.

Unions. Helping businesses move to china since 1970

@mrfrednoname bullshit

[baronblitz]

Without unions or the Labor movement we would not have a minimum wage, overtime, child labor laws, weekends, or many of the safety regulations. It's a strange coincidence that most of our Recessions and Depressions came after periods of lax regulations and yet idiots keep crying for deregulation.

YES! Monday, on the national strike, I'm taking my guitar to Brussels and will sing this lyrics! Revolutionary greetings from Belgium!

@mrfrednoname No; Slave labor in China pulls business overseas, aided by politicians that deregulate and strip protections from our market.

[mrfrednoname]

@ThePunkPatriot Truth, unions drive business overseas.

[Rennpanzer]

@mrfrednoname Studies show that corporate profits have seldom, if ever, been higher and wages relatively lower than they are now. 

[mrfrednoname]

@Rennpanzer if you mean, the desire to make a profit and stay in business, then you are right.

[Rennpanzer]

@mrfrednoname As if corporate greed has nothing to do with those moves.

@BanditoWalrusGames The whole point of a union is worker solidarity. If unions were competing and undercutting one another, that would benefit the bosses.

Love it!
