The Ike Reilly Assa**ination - Fish Plant Uprising lyrics

The guard at the gate said, "Don't trust the government" I woke up dirty, wondered where my money went Who says you can't toss a fish at a president, Say you're sorry and be on your way? And you all rise up When the plant shuts down Tighten up girl When your man leaves town I'll k** the work song When you're making car bombs. Well now Jackson from the union is a company man He got a company song, sings in a company band The company picnic at the forest preserve He got what he had coming, got what he deserved His tires were slashed, his wallet was gone He was last seen kissing on the owner's son In the parking lot after the workers went home He'll never stink of fish And he'll always fish alone And you all rise up When the plant shuts down Tighten up girl When your man leaves town I'll k** the work song Go on making love, now Now the girls in the break room, don't trust the union 'Cause Jackson's taking money from their checks for uniforms Won't back em up on an overdue raise Don't wanna make it with the fish and messing up the workplace Some, they wanna leave by the river or the rail I'm in the slammer, couldn't make the bail Someone from the fish plant snuck into the jail It was Jackson with a threat and a pocket full of scales Pictures of my daughter and one of my mistress We're naked making love and bringing vodka and the fishes Jackson is the blind man, the company fool His bride is my mistress My kid is swimming in her womb Yeah! The guard at the gate said, "Don't trust the government" I woke up dirty wondered where my money went Who says you can't take a shot at a president, Say you're sorry and be on your way?
