Key: C major
Verse 1
C
G
For the
Who were twisted, tricked and robbed
To the peasant in Guatemala
In a sweatshop got your job
And she can't feed her family
On the pennies that she makes
Meanwhile the crime rate's rising
Verse 2
Up and down the Great Lake states
C
Like vegetables left in the field
The signatures smell rotten
On the contracts and the deeds
That push the race down to the bottom
As they load the rubber bullets
As they fire another round
I'm heading into the tear gas
Dig in man, hold your ground
Verse 3
Who fought in their own time
Up and down that picket line
and unnumbered
Who struggle brave and long
Verse 4
Standing up and standing strong
G
Juntos vamos a ganar? Si!
Hit em where it hurts
And bite the hand that feeds
You might get one to three
Or probation and a fine
But I know where I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be right on that front line
Verse 5
Who fought in their own time
Up and down that picket line
and unnumbered
Who struggle brave and long

Verse 6
While others stand aside and look
But ain't nobody never got nothin'
That didn't raise their voice and push
Like the steel worker in Ohio
The miner in West Virginia
The teacher in Chicago
Janitor in Mississippi
From the sweatshops of L.A.
To the fields of Mission Flats
There's a thunder cloud exploding
And I'm free at last
Verse 7
Who fought in their own time
Up and down that picket line
and unnumbered
Who struggle brave and long
Standing up and standing
