General strike, that's what the radio say
General strike, yeah it's come to a head
General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
General strike, they're shutting it down
See the rich been getting richer
While the poor getting sicker
Government saw record profits
We'll all feel it but no better
And there was no use in talk
From the wrong end of the stick
Gridlocked in a deadlock
Had to organise quick
See a hungry man is an angry man
It's gonna blow up, when the president can
You see the picket lines, you see the picket signs
There's a door to walk out, no one left behind
General strike, that's what the radio say
General strike, yeah it's come to a head
General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
General strike, they're shutting it down
The government call it
Civil disobedience
But for the people on the ground
It was the last line of defense
You see the powers that be
They want the carnival dead
And no guns and no tear gas
Could stop the workers that stayed
See a hungry man is an angry man
It's gonna blow up, when the president can
You see the picket lines, you see the picket signs
There's a door to walk out, no one left behind
General strike, that's what the radio say
General strike, yeah it's come to a head
General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
General strike, they're shutting it down
See a hungry man is an angry man
It's gonna blow up, when the president can
You see the picket lines, you see the picket signs
There's a door to walk out, no one left behind
General strike, that's what the radio say
General strike, yeah it's come to a head
General strike, yeah word's spread 'round
General strike, they're shutting it down
