Workers' Song
02:17
|

Come all of you workers
Who toil night and day
By hand and by brain
To earn your pay
In the factories and mills,
In the shipyards and mines
We've often been told
To keep up with the times
But when the sky darkens
And the prospect is war
Who's given a gun
And then pushed to the fore
We're the first ones to starve
The first ones to die
The first ones in line
For that pie-in-the-sky
And always the last
When the cream is shared out
62 persons died in work related accidents in Sweden 2023., way above the average. We gotta turn this negative trend. Unionize and get proper working conditions for all workers world wide.
These lyrics are written by Ed Pickford but first recorded by Dick Gaughan on his album Handful of Earth.
This one goes out to all workers.

Plastic Tomb
01:49
|

They die, it's so fucking real
How can you conceive it?
Shake my hoof, look in my eyes
Smile and think of ways I'll die
Plastic tomb, plastic smile
No commitment, blood soaked style
Trapped for a fur, you wrapped in cancer
The swan song's over for the littlest dancer
Big gun big dreams
Make the world a ghost town
(And I’m not ashamed of my recurring dreams
about me and a gun and a different species,
hint: starts with “h” and rhymes with “Neuman’s”)

A Welcomed Hell
03:00
|
|||
World's burning, the end is getting closer
Haunted visions, round the corner
The future we conceived, where we just burn and bleed
The visions of war, the foreseen death,
The choking breath, there's no way out
This is the nightmare you'll keep waking up to.
The modern world, a welcomed hell with no way out
Civilization's burning
I won't deny it
We got a problem
Something's gotta be done

Leveler
02:07
|
|||
A promise to die
Is all that we get
Death is the only leveler
Give in and give up?
Kill yourself
And call it the end?
Or fight your way
Through it again
When no hope remains
In the face of adversities
Fuck that and fight back
|
||||
5. |
||||
Stuck in a rut and I can't see a way out
Earn, spend, buy another worthless product
Enforced slave labour, conditioned from birth
Born, work, death, bare minimum living
Can we call this life?
Slaving for change
Is this what it is meant to be?
