I wrote half of this song about 20 years ago, it is a collaboration with my younger self.

This is How the Working Class Sing

My hours hit the roof
My pay hits the floor
The boss keep coming back for more
Rent and bills keep coming on in
Politicians try to tell me just take it on the chin

There's never enough, when we want more
But there's hand-outs for the rich, always money for war
And politicians looking for deflection
Love the racists pointing fingers in the wrong direction

Look at the dream, if you have eyes 
It's built on a gaping hole
I wake every day to a wall of lies
But you're never going to take my soul

You bring death and despair, and threaten beware 
But you're not really in control
We're coming for the lot, we'll take everything you've got
We won't hold no begging bowl

You try to raise our targets we say no
We work too hard and the pay's too low
Try to send us to war, hell we won't go
You're going to kill the earth, we need to run the show

This is how the working class sing
Strikes, revolts and rebelling
This is how the working class sing
Revolution, intifada, uprising

Look at the dream, if you have eyes 
It's built on a gaping hole
I wake every day to a wall of lies
But you're never going to take my soul

You bring death and despair, and threaten beware
But you're not really in control
We're coming for the lot, we'll take everything you've got
We won't hold no begging bowl

This is how the working class sing
Strikes, revolts and rebelling
This is how the working class sing
Revolution, intifada, uprising

This is how the working class sing
Strikes, revolts and rebelling
This is how the working class sing
Revolution, intifada, uprising

Look at the dream, if you have eyes
It's built on a gaping hole
I wake every day to a wall of lies
But you're never going to take my soul

You bring death and despair, and threaten beware
But you're not really in control
We're coming for the lot, we'll take everything you've got
We won't hold no begging bowl
