Lyrics
On the line Hours inch by, years gone, time passes by, You try, reply, but you can't remember now why. As the winter months come, and you see your work done, not enough can be saved, work your bones to the grave, Can you still provide, for a family who tried, the hours you slave for a poor man’s worst trade Your back's to the wall, will you stand will you fall, this is your time Now - arise Their news fed you lies, that eveything’s fine, your wage is your worth, their reign is unearthed! No more will we cower, this is the hour, we'll suffer no more, you're the face of the poor Rise now stand tall, will you stand will you fall This is the call, on the line - stand tall Work for yourself, not anyone else, let labor be that, to bring joy and wealth back, don’t bite on the line, that pay is worth time, when life has elapsed.
