So many suffer so much
in the name of corporate greed.
Too many lives are lost
This is not chance,
There is no need.
While grieving families weep
The legal system sweeps
Justice underneath
A tissue made of lies
Facts are stolen,
Truth sickens and dies.
But however long it takes
This much we know
When working men and women
Stand together,
Shoulder to shoulder
Millions strong
There is no wrong
That can survive
Against the light
Of unity love and justice
That’s why we fight.
Dedicated to the memory of all workers killed on construction sites.
And to the families who mourn them.
