Long One Songtext

Long One Songtext
They tell ‘em not to feel scared
They're saying that the money and security's still there
They say we're fighting for a prayer oh
But now its coming no it's coming oh I swear I swear
But one day it will soon be here
And when the man
He got so tired of waiting says
Not beaten by the way the government treats the system
Said now you must be strong
Says you got to carry on
And you can be that man, that we've been fighting with for so long

Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one
Living and die its gonna be a long one son
You've got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine
You and I, its gonna be a long one son

Oh this friend of mine, sitting on the picket line
Wondering how he's gonna pay his bills this time
The company said the economy has run them dry
But if we can all just work together
You can work here, as long as forever
But we gotta take your pay, straight down to minimum wage

Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one
Living and die its gonna be a long one son
You've got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine
You and I, its gonna be a long one son

If you're unemployed now, you don't have to be ashamed somehow
You're just 1 in 400, 000 in a crowd
You see me lift my hand up lift my hand up in the crowd
Filling out applications online, thinking that you're gonna get a job this time
There's only 100 of you, but only 2 jobs you got to do

Get ready to ride its gonna be a long one
Living and die its gonna be a long one son
You've got to try, its gonna be fine fine fine
You and I, its gonna be a long one son
