Are you feeling sad and empty?
Are there lots of things you lack?
Is your life made up of misery?
Then dump the bosses off your back
Are your clothes all patched and tattered,
Are you living in a shack?
Would you like to see your troubles scatter?
Then dump the bosses off your back
Are you almost torn asunder?
Are you loaded like a long-eared jack?
You chump, why don't you fuck with thunder
And dump the bosses off your back
All the misery you've suffered
You can end with one good whack
So wise up and show 'em you're no suckers
And dump the bosses off your backs
We came, we saw and we were conquered
'Cause we laid down before their attacks
Now we're yoked, we're shackled and we're blinkered
Can we dump these bosses off our backs?
Trudging slowly towards the showers
You can hear their long whips crack
But it's us who gives them all their power
- Take back your forty fuckin' hours! -
And dump the bosses off your back
