In Britain as well I've seen
workers who last year were warm as scones
thrown to the pavement
cold, hard stones
because that's how it is
when the bosses knives are honed.
Privatize will blind your eyes,
with private eyes humanity dies.
And banks and corporations
can put you and your dock
on the slavers auction block
and cut you up like in castration.
So the Liverpool dockers and
South Koreans bravo strikers
young and old together
with their thumbs in private eyes
serve as a cry to all to lift our
collective foot and give a swift kick
in the boss's butt as well.
And let them know
their private eyes are the busted windows
of yesterdays
'cause the instrument we play is
an organize for mass demands
and watch us rise,
transforming the future nonpareil
here, in Korea, and heroic Liverpool!
