Performer Billy Bragg

Rich Men Earning North of a Million song lyrics by Billy Bragg official

Rich Men Earning North of a Million is a song in English

If you're selling your soul, working all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
Well, nothing's gonna change if all you do
Is wish you could wake up and it not be true

Join a union
Fight for better pay
You better join a union, brother
Organize today
You'll see where the problem really lies
When the union comes around
Rich men earning north of a million
Wanna keep the working folk down
Wanna keep the working folk down

If you form a union you'll soon find
That working people are all of one kind
So we ain't gonna punch down on those who need
A bit of understanding and some solidarity
That ain't right friend

If you're struggling with your health and you're putting on the pounds
Doctor gives you opiates to help you get around
Well, wouldn't it be better for folks like you and me
If medicine was subsidized and healthcare was free?

Join a union
Fight for better pay
Come on and join a union, sister
Organize today
It comes down to the selfsame thing
If you're black or white or brown
Rich men earning north of a million
Wanna keep the working folk down
Wanna keep the working folk down

Well, we know your culture wars are there to distract
While libertarian billionaires avoid paying tax
You wanna talk about bathrooms while the floodwaters rise
The forest is on fire and the wind burns our eyes
Something's wrong here

Well, they wanna divide us because together we're strong
Are you gonna take action now you sung your damn song?
If you don't like the rich man having total control
You better get the union to roll

Join a union
Fight for better pay
Come on and join a union
Organize today
Don't matter if you live in the city
Or some little country town
Rich men earning north of a million
Rich men earning north of a million
I say, rich men earning north of a million
Wanna keep the working folk down
Wanna keep the working folk down

If you're selling your soul and you're working all day
Overtime hours for bullshit pay
Join a union
