lyrics

the bosses spoke on the production floor
they said they couldn't pay for lunch breaks anymore
amy frowned, sales are down
she said there's too much competition in this town
she said we all need to sacrifice
my last meals have been beans and rice
we all read her central park apartment's lovely
and about her little garden in the country
thirty minutes a day, that's five hours a check
raises every two years will get us 25 cents
and they want to cut six percent
we gave them a letter with our demands in 'em
dignified jobs and a just food system
an end to cuts and a seat at the bargaining table
return the breaks, we know you're able
edgar came to the committee with a plan
he told us that we had the power in our hands
a small group of fed up workers with ambition
we posted flyers and printed up petitions
we won't accept these cuts no way
we've got rent, child care, bills we gotta pay
on delegations we knew the change was coming
the call-in action had the bosses fuming
that's what you get when you fuck with the one big union

si se puede.
