Get Your Shit Together, Lefties!
(Verse 1) Well, I walked down to the meeting hall, Thought I’d see the movement standin’ tall, But one man’s shoutin’ ‘bout a slogan on a sign, And another won’t march ‘cause the font ain't right. (Chorus) Oh, get your shit together, lefties! Ain’t got time to bicker now, While you're arguin’ ‘bout the details, They're puttin' us in the ground. We can fight when we’ve got healthcare, We can brawl when we are free, But ‘til then, shut up and fight the bastards— They’re the real enemy! (Verse 2) I saw a woman speak ‘bout fair work and pay, Then some guy stood up just to pick apart her way, Said her tone was wrong, said her plan was weak, While the landlord raised the rent just down the street. (Chorus) Oh, get your shit together, lefties! Ain’t got time to bicker now, While you're arguin’ ‘bout the details, They're puttin' us in the ground. We can fight when we’ve got healthcare, We can brawl when we are free, But ‘til then, shut up and fight the bastards— They’re the real enemy! (Verse 3) Now I ain't sayin’ don’t hold folks to task, But maybe pick the battles, and make ‘em last, If the house is on fire, don’t fight ‘bout the door, Grab a bucket, grab a hose, and put it out before— (Verse 4) Before the cops take more, before the banks get rich, Before we work ourselves straight into the ditch, Before the racists win, before the fascists rule, And we’re all sittin’ ‘round lookin’ goddamn fools. (Chorus – Angry) Oh, get your shit together, lefties! Ain’t got time to bicker now, While you're arguin’ ‘bout the details, They're puttin' us in the ground. We can fight when we’ve got healthcare, We can brawl when we are free, But ‘til then, shut up and fight the bastards— They’re the real enemy! (Verse 5 – Hopeful) But I seen what happens when we stand as one, I seen strikes go strong, I seen marches run, I seen workers win when they break that chain, And I know we can do it, if we fight the same! (Final Chorus – Defiant) Oh, get your shit together, lefties! Ain’t got time to bicker now, While you're arguin’ ‘bout the details, They're puttin' us in the ground. We can fight when we’ve got healthcare, We can brawl when we are free, But ‘til then, shut up and fight the bastards— They’re the real enemy!
