RAGGIN

Working man seeks a living wage
Working woman, equal pay
No stinking poverty
When you're creaking with age
Ask for these and all the bosses say is...

You're raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Commo’s to a man
Well, if that's being commo
It's commo where we stand

Proud black nation gives a long black shout
Strong black heart, strong black mouth
Two hundred years, too long to die
But you spit it all out and the white boss cries..

You're raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Commo’s to a man
Well, if that's being commo
It's commo where we stand

Sixty hours to kill on that endless line
Sixty hours and still we're the factory swine
Long, long years and your brain breaks down
Long, long years and your backbone's gone

You're raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Commo’s to a man
Well, if that's being commo
It's commo where we stand

Sell your guts at the bosses' price
He pays cash but you pay with your life
Women and men scrambling up to their feet
While the boss pulls a knife and grins through his teeth...

You're raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Raggin', raggin', red red raggin'
Commo’s to a man
Well, if that's being commo
It's commo where we stand
