We Who Work

We who build, we who sing
We who sew, we who know
We will come
We who make, we who grow
We who serve, we who work
We will come
All that we’ve built—
All that we’ve grown—
All we’ve made—
We will come for it!

Which Side Are You On?

Come all of you good workers,
good news to you I'll tell.
Of how the good old union
has come in here to dwell.
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a worker
and I'm a worker's kin.
I'll stick with fellow workers
till we rise up and win!
Which side are you on?
My mother is a worker
and she feeds me her best.
I'll stick with fellow workers;
I'll get this off my chest!
Which side are you on?
Come all of you good workers,
we're black and white and red.
And we won't stop our work
till all our mouths are fed!
Which side are you on?

Enough is Enough

You have walked a thousand miles
You have spent a thousand days
In this whole you are a part
In this time your soul’s aflame!
Cut your pay or the raise the price
Cut your line and break the bank
Damn your eyes just like Sam Hall
Damn your deeds; damn my eyes
Enough is enough
We adapt to the pain
To survive
Still we’re numb
Enough is enough
This will not be a turned stone
Not an adjustment
What was death must be life
What was many must be one
Enough is enough
Doomed, just as before, but
Now I bleed for my daughters and sons
Enough is enough

Vaults of Silver
04:24

Our banks are made of marble, from shore to shining shore
And the sand is full of silver, that we all sweated for
I’ve traveled ‘round this country, from shore to shining shore
And it really made me wonder, all the things I heard and Saw
I saw the poor dirt farmer plowing sod and loam
I heard the auction hammer knocking down his home
I saw women working in the sweatshop and the store,
In the office and the factory, and at home they scrubbed the floor
But the banks are made of marble, with a guard at every door
And the vaults are full of silver that we all sweated for
I saw my mother working from dawn to setting sun;
I heard her saying softly, “Women’s work is never done.”
I’ve seen my fellow workers build up this mighty land;
Some want to divide us, but together we will stand!
Then we’ll own those banks of marble and open every door
We’ll share those vaults of silver that we’ve all sweated for.

We will not give up the fight,
we have only started.
Refugees are welcome here,
let's be open hearted.
Immigrants are welcome here,
let's be open hearted.
Dreamers, you are welcome here,
you have been invited.
We will not give up the fight,
we have only started!
