My daddy was a miner
And I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union
Till every battle's won

They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J.H. Blair

Oh, workers can you stand it?
Oh, tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?

Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Us poor folks haven't got a chance
Unless we organize

Occupy lyrics

Come all you good workers
And hear what the news won't tell
Of how the people had enough
and came to this town to dwell

Chorus

My daddy taught me to be a hard working man
And hard working man is what i've become
But greed took my job and laughed in my face
So i'm staying here until the battle is won

They say in new york city
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be an occupier
Or a thug for the millionaires

Oh people can you stand it
Oh tell me how you can?
Will you be a frightened into silence
or will you be a man?

They said we can't live without them
Don't believe their lies
Ordinary people don't have a chance
Unless we organise

They made us pay for their mistakes
Then said we had no say
The rich stayed rich and the poor got screwed
No more we're here to stay!
