I wrote and recorded this song today in support of the CWA/IBEW Union workers strike against Verizon. Recorded on August 11, 2011 using a Flip Video camera.

Lyrics:

They complain their profits just ain't big enough to go around
And now everyone must tighten their belts so their pants don't fall down
So why are you giving
yourself a big raise - for your cost of living?
If we give back all workin' folks are under attack

So I'm on this line
Got my red shirt and my picket sign

Shame on you
We all know what ya did and what you do
There's ways to play these cards you drew
Ya just do right by those who made you who you are

Now you lookin' out windows, driving our trucks
Doin' my job, pushin' your luck
Ya had no choice -- came from above
They gotta make money cuz it's never enough

You won't listen so I'm on this line
Got my red shirt and my picket sign

Shame on you
We all know what ya did and what you do
There's ways to play these cards you drew
Ya just do right by those who made you who you are

Now listen, I understand
won't be told what to do by no workin' man
Come to the table, we don't kiss and tell
If not we'll make your life a living hell

You don't listen so I'm on this line
Got my red shirt and my picket sign

Shame on you
We all know what ya did and what you do
There's ways to play these cards you drew
Ya just do right by those who made you who you are

You make $55,000 a day
Takin' my health care and pension away
Respect those back in the day
The men and women fightin' for the workin' pay
