Verse 1:
RE LA RE LA
The status of our future in both past and present time,
D A E~
Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine
RE LA RE LA
To determine and direct the lives of family men who bear the burden
RE LA MI
Of living up to standard that doesn't exist in 1999
Chorus 1
LA RE LA MI
Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line,
LA RE SOL-D LA MI
10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time
Verse 2:
RE LA RE LA
Times may be changing, but I'll never leave behind
D A E~
The hopes and thoughts I have of better days for families such as mine
RE LA RE LA
Because if history repeats itself, and time will surely tell
D A E~
What goes around's gonna come around, and you'll know our pain too well
Chorus 2
LA RE LA MI
Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line,
LA RE SOL-D LA MI
10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time,
LA RE LA MI
And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the stories that they tell
LA RE SOL-D LA MI
Of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell...
