Anti-Flag - WORK and STRUGGLE Lyrics

(Be grateful for it, work and struggle to death)
(Work and struggle, and be grateful for it)
(Work and struggle for less)

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle to death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

There's blood on the banks of homestead
(There's blood in the banks of Wall Street)
Robert Owens gave birth to the 8 hour day
(The boss wants it down in a grave)

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

They want to use you up, and steal your soul
(They want to use you up, and steal your soul)

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle to death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less

Perpetuate violence (surveilled privacy)
Serving evictions (deny basic need)
Following orders (just do what you're told)
They'll leave you with nothing, just a flag to fold

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

They want to use you up, and steal your soul
They want to use you up, and steal your soul

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

Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle to death
Work and struggle, and be grateful for it
Work and struggle for less
Work and struggle for less
