Bosses And Workers
Sometimes the Bosses don't get along,
so one Boss starts to sing,
something about America,
something about the brave.
He throws in a lot about God
and he throws in even more about hate,
sometimes the Bosses don't get along
so one Boss starts to sing.
Now, the other Boss asks his Workers,
do you hear him singing his song ?
you're going to have to defend us,
hurry, because it won't be long.
But the Workers on either side,
tell their Bosses they won't fight,
they would rather stand side by side
with all the Workers world wide.
Workers build the machines of war
that the Workers pay for with taxes.
Workers or their sons are the ones that die
while the Bosses grind their axes.
Sometimes the Bosses don't get along
so one Boss starts to sing,
something about the Resistance,
something about the brave.
He throws in a lot about Allah
and he throws in even more about hate,
sometimes the Bosses don't get along
so one Boss starts to sing.
