Marcel Cartier - A Worker's Daydreams lyrics

[Verse 1] Day in and day out they demonize the working cla** Pulling us the half fable calling the chaves Calling us the no good, calling us the threat We rally in numbers the state don't forget They always put the workers on basis of race A tool of division still applied till this day They split us by region, professions and more By s** and by gender the office and floor Mental and manual, employed, unemployed Better well to do, middle cla** that enjoys, perks and more privileges inspiring to be The next one percent is the new bourgeoisie The lackeys and the bosses, sometimes rebellious They waiver in their loyalties cuz' they ain't getting there yet Pit against the bottom layers doing most the work And getting paid the least that's the way the system works [Chorus] Sometimes I wonder, when will they go under? Sometimes I wonder, why do workers suffer? Sometimes I wonder, when will we take over? Sometimes I wonder, where are all the soldiers? [Verse 2] If you are sick of getting paid less than the value of Your actual labour, you ain't doing it for love You do it to get by, you do it for a check You look at tax deductions you rightfully upset But even more upsetting, the source of all your wage should be what happens before you get told what's your wage You really work for yourself a part of every day You produce a lot more than you see in your pay A rich man talking, he made it on his own Actually someone else did he took it for his own This surplus value could be coming to us To benefit community programs and such Rather it gets taken by a single person, a handful of people that system is serving Next time they hit you with that demonisation Remember where their interests lie in this equation [Chorus] Sometimes I wonder, when will they go under? Sometimes I wonder, why do workers suffer? Sometimes I wonder, when will we take over? Sometimes I wonder, where are all teh soldiers?
