Shut it down, we’re tired, yeah
Tired of workin’, yeah
Workin’ for nothin’ we all want
What we got comin’?
All we need is a break
Come on, take a break
Everything is not all right
And there’s no end in sight
You can call it, watcha like
Come on, stand up for your rights
Stand up, stand and unite
It’s time for a general strike
We been out breakin’ our backs
Been out workin’ gettin’ no slack
All week long, payin’ those bills
That’s just the people that still got a job
What about the rest of us on the Soup Line?
Stand up, stand and unite
It’s time for a general strike
Stand up, stand and unite it’s time
