JOE HILL AND THE BOYS

slc, 1914 its a qued up corporate atrocity
call the bluff, walk out and see
steel mill workers and armed police
stand up, stand off, hold your ground
put your fist in the air, its coming around
organize, don't let them trod
on your rights, gotta fight, when the line gets hot.
joe hill and the boys, are making too much noise
worker's rights and unity? someone call an authority
joe hill and the boys, they ain't got a choice
the boys aren't going to work today, watch em take joe away.
open the paper one more time
theres a strike on the block and they're drawing lines
leader's are walking away
dreaming of equality
capital, that needs to be gained
labor, that needs to be tamed
they're walking a line, not waving a flag
its not going to go away
joe hill and the boys...
board the windows, lock up tight
or lace up your boots and take back your rights.
