Lyrics:
We want a say at City Hall we vote
To pick the next pope they conclave
But at work we know to behave
‘Cause we need that next bank note
It’s time to think outside the boss
Don’t be a clerk for a jerk
Bring democracy to work
Bring democracy to work
One worker one vote they say
At the Co-op Mondragon
A bad economy it stays strong
A hundred thousand get a living wage
They think outside the boss
They’re no clerk for no jerk
They bring democracy to work
They bring democracy to work
They tried to shut the plants all down
But Argentine workers took them back
On the streets where under attack
Saving jobs was the talk of the town
They think outside the boss
They’re no clerk for no jerk
They bring democracy to work
They bring democracy to work
Cleaning homes or raking leaves
Working the farm or at the shop
Migrants bringing their wages up
And dignity they achieve
They think outside the boss
They’re no clerk for no jerk
They bring democracy to work
They bring democracy to work
The unions are catching on
Labor movements get a boost
Industrial renaissance produced
Our future now redrawn
We think outside the boss
We ain’t a clerk for a jerk
We bring democracy to work
We bring democracy to work
Think outside the boss
Don’t Cratchit clerk for a jerk
Bring democracy to work
Bring democracy to work
