"Which Side Are You On?" (Lyrics by Florence Reese)



Come all you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell

Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was a miner
He's now in the air and sun
He'll be with you fellow workers
Until the battle's won

Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?

They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Claire

Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?

Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?

Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?

Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Poor folks ain't got a chance
Unless they organize

Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?

Which side are YOU on?

the sherriff is at the door it seems
to cast a pall upon our dreams
my families' farm for generations
is now the property of corporations

to modernize my farm I drew
an enormous loan, now overdue
this farm was ours, all free and clear
now all foreclosed, each cow and steer

the tractor, horses, barn and field
what once was ours we now must yield
I borrowed more than I can pay
now the bank owns each bale of hay

I wish I hadn't made that loan
this farm I lost I still would own
this tiny farm with fields so fine
perhaps not much, but all of it mine
 
Everyone is on the right side....most of the time

....ok, some of the people some of the time...no...wait...it is coming to me...most of the people most of the time, unless they gather in groups and include stupid people.


That's it.

I'm on the side that doesn't advocate using the government to mug other people in order to transfer their income and wealth to me.

so you are against farm and oil subsidies and tax breaks?
 
I am on the side that fires lazy workers while feeding thieving executives and politicians to hungry sharks and bears

Yes, I am - but on the condition that we get rid of ALL government subsidies, tax preferences, corporate welfare, etc. and move to a fair flat tax with no loopholes - and reform civil service employment so that they are subjected to the same 401K type of provisions and health care alternatives as the rest of us.
 
I was only wrong once in my life, and it was when I thought I was wrong, but I was actually right....:doubt:
