The Organizer (Live / 1984)

Lyrics: Jeff Cahill Music: Jeff Cahill Well I'm here to tell you a story About a man that I once knew Used to talk of workers rights Until his face was blue Used to talk of indiscretions That the boss at all times commit Used to tell us of discrimination And never to commit Now it's time that he was leaving 'cause the boss wants him put down But you see him on the freedom trail In every company town 'Cause he's been organizing Oh against wage slavery For all of the working folk In every country Said the luggers and the miners Oh they worked hard for their pay It's the only game in town But you can hΠ΅ar all the people say "HΠ΅y they raped the land, now the companies gone" They have to live with what is left Can't blame that on the workers But it goes down as their debt Now it's time that he was leaving 'cause the boss wants him put down But you see him on the freedom trail In every company town Cause he's been organizing Oh against wage slavery For all of the working folk In every country Now it's time that he was leaving 'cause the boss wants him put down But you see him on the freedom trail In every company town Cause he's been organizing Oh against wage slavery For all of the working folk In every country Now when he goes, there'll be singing Of all the songs that he has sung They'll be telling stories Oh about the things he's done He told us of the power When we all stand as one Tell every single worker, every daughter, every son Now it's time that he was leaving 'cause the boss wants him put down But you see him on the freedom trail In every company town Cause he's been organizing Oh against wage slavery For all of the working folk In every country Yes for all of the working folk In every country
