No sly sell out plots
The wars on abroad
At home we were bought
Our resistance rarely spills over
Cause a few bucks buys our quiet
I want to rage love and wonder
They just tell us to sell it
There’s a deal to get paid
But it’s not for that much
We need more than just bread
Is this really enough?
Pressured and threatened
Attacked demeaned killed
We see the ones who are beaten
By those who own the world
So keep your mouth closed
Or just quit and then fight
We need a solution
To this erie silence at night
Hush hush here’s some money
Hush hush take your leave
Get out of town and keep quiet
Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve
Don’t talk about unity
Or stopping the violence
Because the cops and corps know these deeds
Bring the people together
But when we come forward to win
And refuse to shut up
We’ll take to the streets here this spring
No sellout deal that’s corrupt
Corporate consolidation
Mega mergers cut in
Some covert deal we aren’t part of
To do nothings insane
I could keep on going
About sitting on my hands
Earning some bread while the world burns
To just grow old understand
Through agitation and action
We’ll chant no to the deal
Not just breadcrumbs man believe it
We want the full meal
This May Day is one day
Everyday there’s free will
So plan it and don’t sell out
Be transparent with zeal
Frustrated stay quiet
Boil over erupt
Then just say I’m done with this charade we need to all get paid but not stay silent for a wage dismayed and dazed let’s fight love and play cause it’s spring time. You know? (Strike)
