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

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

Now dirty scabs will cross the line

While others stand aside and look

But ain't nobody never got nothin'

That didn't raise their voice and push

From the sweatshops of L.A.

To the fields of Mission Flats

There's a thunder cloud exploding

And I'm free at last
