October Monday (Lyrics)

An illegal strike but they're still gonna fight And who gives a fuck what the papers say One October Monday And a bastard in a 500 dollar suit Is calling you a special interest group One October Monday Lies poured in at the final hour The whole thing's still just a matter of power And the goddamn bill was still the same Even though the ministers face might have changed So no matter how vilified They're out standing on the picket line Tell me which is a more unlawful act The abuse of power or trying to take it back So many without a choice Counting the days till they're unemployed But the jobs at the bottom don't have to be lost If everyone on the ladder took a tiny loss And I’d rather have rape crisis centers Than 10,000 dollar tory dinners A system set up that only caters to some And the broken ladder's blamed on the bottom rung
