Written for the Fight For Fifteen, this one starts with a snip of performance at the New Brunswick, NJ rally, then on to the rest of the country.
We have worked to keep communities
And families living well
We are proud to do our part
And now we’ve come out here to tell
That if you don’t want workers
Who are threatening to rebel
Then pay them what they’re worth
And families living well
We are proud to do our part
And now we’ve come out here to tell
That if you don’t want workers
Who are threatening to rebel
Then pay them what they’re worth
Chorus:
Glory glory to a living wage
Glory glory place it on the page
You may ask what does that mean
At a minimum, 15
So we go marching on
Nobody should go bankrupt
With gigantic doctor bills
Nor should people have to choose
Between their dinner and their pills
The studies are already done,
And lack of healthcare kills
So we’ll go marching on
Chorus
We are your friends and neighbors
And you see us every day
We work our asses to the bone
So hear us when we say
That when we aren’t respected
We don’t meekly go away
No, we go marching on
Chorus
