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
