Chopping Block
from A Distant Call by SHEER MAG
lyrics
Between the parties there’s no light
We need workers to unite
We can decide to have another world
But we're gonna have to fight
It’s our last chance
Destroy the part that hates yourself
We deserve more than the dealers dealt
Never had nothing my whole life
Why not put my foot down
Why not try to turn it around
Let's put em on the chopping block
The final hour strikes clock
They need to pay
They owe us our back wage
Forget about what’s common sense
We’re a threat and it’s their defense
There’s no time left to compromise
Remember why we labor
Everything’s on the table
Yes they need to pay
The stakes are grave
They can't be saved
Need to fade away
We need workers to unite
We can decide to have another world
But we're gonna have to fight
It’s our last chance
Destroy the part that hates yourself
We deserve more than the dealers dealt
Never had nothing my whole life
Why not put my foot down
Why not try to turn it around
Let's put em on the chopping block
The final hour strikes clock
They need to pay
They owe us our back wage
Forget about what’s common sense
We’re a threat and it’s their defense
There’s no time left to compromise
Remember why we labor
Everything’s on the table
Yes they need to pay
The stakes are grave
They can't be saved
Need to fade away
