the wages were low, the conditions poor
workers bullied and harassed
one day the workers wouldn’t take it no more
said enough is enough is enough
management reacted as excepted
gave the troublemakers the boot
the others were told to go back to work
or they’ll lose their jobs too
shut your mouth or they’ll give you the sack
and see to that you’ll never work again
no employer wants a troublemaker
and you’ll be banned — from employment
now there’s silence among the workers
just like the management wants it to be
the ones who lost their jobs are still unemployed
the punishment for questioning authority
this wouldn’t happen if we stood together
united against the oppressors
this couldn’t be if we supported each other
fighting the exploiters
