I NEVER MISSED A DAY NOR WENT ON STRIKE FOR BETTER PAY FOR TWENTY YEARS I SERVED THEM, BEST I COULD NOW WITH A HANDSHAKE AND A CHEQUE, IT SEEMS SO EASY TO FORGET LOYALTY THROUGH THE BAD TIMES AND THROUGH GOOD NOW, THE OWNER SAYS HE’S SAD TO SEE THAT THINGS HAVE GOT SO BAD BUT THE CAPTAINS OF INDUSTRY WON’T LET HIM LOSE HE STILL DRIVES A CAR AND SMOKES HIS CIGAR AND STILL HE TAKES HIS FAMILY ON A CRUISE HE’LL NEVER LOSE... NOW, IT SEEMS TO ME SUCH A CRUEL IRONY HE’S RICHER NOW THAN EVER HE WAS BEFORE NOW MY CHEQUE IS SPENT AND I CAN’T AFFORD THE RENT THERE’S ONE LAW FOR THE RICH ONE FOR THE POOR EVERY DAY I’VE TRIED TO SALVAGE SOME OF MY PRIDE TO FIND SOME WORK SO AS, I MIGHT PAY MY WAY OH, BUT EVERYWHERE I GO THE ANSWER’S ALWAYS NO THERE’S NO WORK FOR ANYONE HERE TODAY NO WORK TODAY... AND SO, CONDEMNED I STAND JUST AN ORDINARY MAN LIKE THOUSANDS BESIDE ME IN THE QUEUE I WATCH MY DARLIN’ WIFE TRYIN’ TO MAKE THE BEST OF LIFE AND GOD KNOWS WHAT THE KIDS ARE GOIN’ TO DO NOW THAT WE ARE FACED WITH THIS HUMAN WASTE A GENERATION CAST ASIDE FOR AS LONG AS I LIVE I NEVER WILL FORGIVE YOU’VE STRIPPED ME OF MY DIGNITY AND PRIDE YOU’VE STRIPPED ME BARE... YOU’VE STRIPPED ME BARE... YOU’VE STRIPPED ME BARE...
