(fast tempo, this is an in-your-face redneck protest song. Start with Am then Em back to Am)

(Am)A dangerous kind of thinking is taking (Em)over this land, you better (Am) listen to the people who earn a living with their hands. (Am)They’re calloused and hard some are (Em) tired and sore, You’ve cheated them so much they won’t be (Am)takin anymore (Em)

(Dm)There’s a shadow of a gun hanging (Am)over this land (Dm)You fancy talkin fat cats (Em) don’t seem to understand, (Am)This country was built by a differ (Em)ent kind of woman and man. (Em)They do their talkin with their hands!

(Am)You talk about your investments what about (Em)their sweat and (Am)blood? While you’re learning to stack up money they’re a (Em)slavin in the (Am)mud. They do their investin every day with the (Em)work they (Am)do (Am)Earn a dollar for them and (Em)twenty for (Am)you.

(Am)(Em)(Dm)Repeat

(C)Instead of hobnobbing with the rich (F)minority, You better start (C)pluggin for the (G)workin (c)majority.

Chorus

(C)Ooooh Oooh can’t you (Am)understand, (C)I’m talkin about every (Am)woman and man (C)earnin a livin the (Am)best they can. (Em)They do their workin (Am)with their hands

 

(Am)They’re the backbone of this country (Em)The salt of the earth (Am)don’t need a calculator (Em) to know what they’re worth(Em) Their actions are gonna speak louder than than your (Am)words (Am)And sooner than later they’re (Em)gonna be (Am) heard.

(Am)The president comes on the tube and says (Em)everything is (Am)fine. There’s a lot of us wonderin (Em)has he lost his (Am)mind? He says the market is soarin, (Em)isn’t he aware, more (Am)than half the people in this country (Em) don’t own a single (Am)share.

(Am)He says I’ve created more jobs (Em)and most of us agree (Am)cause my wife is workin two and I’m (Em)workin three, Cause the paychecks we get don’t (Em)stretch as far (Am)as they did when we all drove an (Em)American (Am)Car.

(C)Instead of hobnobbing with the rich (F)minority, You better start (C)pluggin for the (G)workin (C)majority.
