Early in the morning the job's begun
Job number two comes at quarter-to-one
Take the bus down and wait in the hot sun
And you'll be feeling tired from the morning
Two hours turns the clock
Waiting in line at the auction block
Economic system's got you locked
Got you waking too early in the morning
Pay check comes and it's nothing new
You worked six hours got paid for two
Buy a cheap dinner for your kids and you
And you'll spend it all by the morning
Settling now for minimum wage
Waiting for the day when you turn the page
It's bound to happen one of these days
It'll bring a brand new morning
Gonna build power with your working hands
Organize others to make demands
If they refuse you're gonna take a stand
And they're gonna feel it in the morning
Once that that Living Wage is won
There'll be dignity and power in the stadium
And you'll keep organizing til it's worker-run
And you'll be glad to rise in the morning
