Knocked to the ground and treated like shit
Unions can 't protect you from big business
After years and years of your loyalty
Dealing with poor conditions and a meager pay

CHORUS
Worker 's rights , that 's what we need
Worker 's rights for those who build this country

We struggle for survival right into our graves
Busting our ass for a standard wage
Times are tough and work is hard to find
It 's times like these I think I 'll turn to crime

CHORUS

The unions are corrupt and the bosses full of greed
Who will take a stand for the working man 's needs
We 'll fight for our rights , standing side by side
You will never kill our working class pride

CHORUS

Knocked to the ground and treated like shit
Unions can 't protect you from big business
Tell your politicians you 've got something to say
You want better wages and job security

CHORUS
