[Chorus]
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle and death
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

[Chorus]
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle and death
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

[Verse 1]
There's blood on the banks of homestead
There's blood in the banks of Wall Street
Robert Owens gave birth to the eight hour day
The boss wants it down in a grave

[Verse 2]
Poison the rivers, slaughter the cows
Build up the prisons, burn forests down
Food to the landfill, patent the seeds
They waste your labor and your dignity

[Pre-Chorus]
They want to use you up and steal your soul
They want to use you up and steal your soul
[Chorus]
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle and death
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

[Verse 3]
Perpetuate violence, surveilled privacy
Serving evictions, deny basic needs
Following orders, just do what you're told
They'll leave you with nothing, just a flag to fold

[Verse 4]
They rob the world blind, never pay for their crimes
They've got us trained like rats
So we organize on the boss' dime
We don't have to live like this, like this, like this

[Pre-Chorus]
They want to use you up and steal your soul
They want to use you up and steal your soul

[Bridge]
Bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left
Bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left
They're gonna bleed you to death 'til there's nothing left
They'll bleed you to death
[Chorus]
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle and death
Work and struggle and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

[Refrain]
Work and struggle for less
