about

A song for our unions, and a call for musicians to come together and try to change Centrelink's policy where we essentially are not considered sole traders with a legitimate occupation.

lyrics

Come out and join this fight,
workers one, workers all.
Come out and organise
Workers all.
Come out for recognition
of the worth of our positions
and come out, musicians
and rattle up the drum.

Come out and sing for change
workers one, workers all.
Come and sing for your wage
workers all.
Come out and tell them you
are a human being too,
and their pettiness, they will rue
and rattle up the drum.

Come out and make a noise
workers one, workers all.
A noise they can’t avoid,
workers all.
Come out and shake the walls
when ten thousand voices call
“You shall not do this anymore.”
Beat the drum.

Come out and make them squirm,
workers one, workers all.
Come out and starve the worms,
workers all.
Come out and don’t back down
until they’ve given ground
and make them fear the sound
of our drum.
