Alarm clock volumes up
Gotta fill that coffee cup
Caffeinated just enough
Stretch and send a prayer up
For your kids and family
To be safe, be strong, and be healthy
And one day that they be set free
But right now you've got a whole house of mouths to feed
Time is really running thin
Can you fit a breakfast in?
Lucky if you see your kids
Deep breath take this moment in
Out the door and on your way
Off you go another day
Gotta be one time today
And update that resume
Cause this recession is a test
They're making cuts
Now they want more for less
If you start to feel that extra stress
Just do your best and leave the rest
Our ancestors did it too
Somehow they all made it through
Something that we all must do
Keep hope alive
Keep hope alive you'll make it too
And in case nobody told you on your job today,
And in case they didn't tell you on your job today,
Las Cafeteras would like to say:
Thank you (Thank you)
Thank you (Thank you)
To mothers, who sacrifice to make ends meet
Thank you
To fathers, who faithfully take care of their seeds
Thank you
To farmworkers, the food you harvest keeps us alive
Thank you
To teachers training their students to excel and survive
Thank you
From cooks, waiters, and bakers for our daily bread
To TAs, Assistants, and those teaching special Ed
Bus drivers, getting us to work on time
DJs, breakers, writers, and MCs who rhyme
Students with two jobs hitting those books at night
And the organizers, bringing us together to fight
The little ones, doing their chores and homework
And all those under and unemployed looking for work
Factory workers, migrants from distant lands
South central farmers, teaching us to work with the land
Construction workers building up the world with their hands
These days time passes faster than the quickest of sands
From peace workers and sweat-shop, street vendors on each block
Spiritual leaders and sweats hot, heat cleanses like detox
Those working against addiction, fighting against eviction
The culture workers, musicians, and artists on a mission
To transform our community with care and conviction
To single parents making miracles each week
And to our elders for the truth and the courage you speak
To ancestors whose hard work paved the way
And to everyone who's out there doing labor today
To my indigenous people and our creator too
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you
So thank you
(Thank you!)
Heya heyo, heya heya
Heya heyo, heya heya
Heya heyo, heya heya
Heya heyo, heya heya
Heya heyo, heya heyo
Heya heyo, heya heyooooo
Heya heya heya heya heya

Trabajar es una lucha
Nuestra gente bien lo sabe
Pero se de alli se escucha
Aqui solo fuerza cabe
Campecino bajo el sol
La fruta pisca sudando
Professora en el salon
A los niños educando
Trabajar es una lucha
Nuestra gente bien lo sabe
Pero se de alli se escucha
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
Aquí solo fuerza cabe
