Too Many Benefits and Such
We've watched the economy slide down the hill
They gave billions to the bankers that they stole from the till,
We've seen 'em bust the workers on the assembly line,
Don't let it happen one more time!
Chorus
They say you're makin' way too much,
You got too many benefits and such,
If we can only cut your wage one time,
We can bring our budget in line.
For the last sixty years, they drove the unions down,
Government workers are the last game in town.
Divide and conquer is the name of the game,
Make 'em treat all unions the same!
Repeat Chorus
Employee Free Choice is dying on the vine
Single Payer's off the table, insurance is their line.
Republicans and Democrats say the same thing.
Money in my pocket; Ding, Ding, Ding!
Repeat Chorus
Employee Free Choice is dying on the vine,
Insurance companies is their line,
They won't talk about Single Payer Healthcare,
Ding, Ding, Ding ..... We're getting nowhere!
Ding, Ding, Ding ..... We're getting nowhere!
Ding, Ding, Ding ..... We're getting nowhere!
We are Standing Strong SEIU
(tune of "We Shall Not be Moved")
We are city workers, we are standing strong
We are city workers, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
We serve the community, we are standing strong
We serve the community, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
We only seek equity, we are standing strong
We only seek equity, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
Their cuts will hurt our families, we are standing strong
Their cuts will hurt our families, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
We want accountability, we are standing strong
We want accountability, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
We're building our foundation, we are standing strong
We're building our foundation, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
We are city workers, we are standing strong
We are city workers, we are standing strong
Just like a tree planted by the water, we are standing strong
Give Me that New Union Contract
To the tune of "Give me that Old-time Religion"
Chorus
Give me that new union contract,
Give me that new union contract,
Give me that new union contract,
SEIU for me
We all want to do our part,
Co-operating from the start,
We will never lose heart,
SEIU for me
Repeat Chorus
We want equity and justice,
With the needy they entrust us,
But we just can't let 'em bust us
SEIU for me
Repeat Chorus
We comfort and we nourish,
With our energy and courage,
We have helped this city flourish,
SEIU for me
Repeat Chorus
We have got to stick together,
To withstand the wind and weather
Each alone is like a feather,
SEIU for me
Repeat Chorus
