Lyrics
Well they busted the union up in dairy land
And that beady eyes governor is schilling for the man
They took a century's worth of human rights
And wiped 'em all out over night.
Chorus)
But I'll stand with the working man
And the women too
But who'll stand with me and you.
Was Them Wall Street boys that took the country down
Now they're back riding high out on the town
And the right wing is beating on the middle class
And I think it's time we kicked some ass.
Chorus)
But I'll stand with the working man
And the women too
But who'll stand with me and you.
Bridge)
Woody Guthrie said
This land is meant for you and me
But somehow it got sold
For a politician's soul and corporate greed
Last chorus)
But I'll stand with the working man
And the women too
But who'll stand with me and you.
Yeah whose gonna' stand right now with me and you
Ain't no one left to stand for me and you
