Utah Phillips sings the classic labor movement song from the IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) "Little Red Songbook," "Dump The Bosses Off Your Back." From his live album, WE HAVE FED YOU ALL A THOUSAND YEARS, from his live album in 1984.

LYRICS:
Are you poor, forlorn and hungry?
Are there lots of things you lack ?
Is your life made up of misery?
Then dump the bosses off your back.

Are your clothes all patched and tattered ?
Are you living in a shack ?
Would you have your troubles scattered ?
Then dump the bosses off your back.

Are you almost split asunder?
Loaded like a long-eared jack?
Boob - why don't you buck like thunder,
And dump the bosses off your back ?

All the agonies you suffer
You can end with one good whack
Stiffen up, you orn'ry duffer
And dump the bosses off your back.

(c) 1984. Philo Records.
