The owning class is clamoring
To us the workers’ money bring
Let them live on ‘straps and ‘string
And eat their boots now things are lean
Some workers they manipulate
To take the blame & agitate
To put their families’ lives at stake
So masters’ profits they can make
They say they know that many more will die
Even dare to call you the “front line”
And thank you for your sacrifice now go and make those pies
You’re essentially expendable, at 7.25
The plutocrats in congress say
The urgency has gone away
The owning class has had their day
3 trillion plus is on the way
Help the worker stay alive
But not enough to really thrive
Comfort takes away the drive
To die for 7.25
They say they know that many more will die
Even dare to call it the “front line”
And thank you for your sacrifice
Now go and make those pies
You’re essentially expendable, at 7.25
The president called this a hoax
And his followers he tries to coax
To mingle while they praise his boasts
Then to the market they’ll be thrown
Distance, now the white house rule
Is too extravagant for you
Get back to work you lazy tool
And when you break, they’ll get one new
They say they know that many more will die
Even dare to cal you the “front line”
As they’re ramping up the class war, you know they could be right
’tis time my fellow workers for the general strike
His wealth he thought would insulate
He thought his power was too great
That virus would not dare invade
His callous white house palisade
He’ll now be tested every day
Maybe 4 times, even eight
But you can all just play roulette
He wants that burger on his plate
They’re scheming even now on how
To siphon off our bank accounts
Congress plans to help them out
Their priorities are not in doubt
But workers have their own demands
In states and towns across the land
They’re walking out to make a stand
This need not go to b#stards’ plans
They say they know that more will die
Even dare to call it the “front line”
As they’re ramping up the class war, you know they must be right
Cuz it’s time my fellow workers for the general strike
