An illegal strike but they're still gonna fight
And who gives a f*** what the papers say
One October Monday
And a b****** in a 500 dollar suit
Is calling you a special interest group
One October Monday
Lies poured in at the final hour
The whole thing's still just a matter of power
And the g****** bill was still the same
Even though the ministers face might have changed
So no matter how vilified
They're out standing on the picket line
Tell me which is a more unlawful act
The abuse of power or trying to take it back
So many without a choice
Counting the days till they're unemployed
But the jobs at the bottom don't have to be lost
If everyone on the ladder took a tiny loss
And I'd rather have rape crisis centers
Than 10,000 dollor tory dinners
A system set up that only caters to some
And the broken ladder's blamed on the bottom rung
