Verse 1:
D A D A
The status of our future in both past and present time,
D A E~
Is relegated to a member of a higher class than mine
D A D A
To determine and direct the lives of family men who bear the burden
D A E
Of living up to standard that doesn't exist in 1999
Chorus 1
A D A E
Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line,
A D G-D A E
10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time
Verse 2:
D A D A
Times may be changing, but I'll never leave behind
D A E~
The hopes and thoughts I have of better days for families such as mine
D A D A
Because if history repeats itself, and time will surely tell
D A E~
What goes around's gonna come around, and you'll know our pain too well
Chorus 2
A D A E
Who's gonna save us from this lonely picket line,
A D G-D A E
10 years of service, but I'm still not worth your time,
A D A E
And I've seen men give their lives, and heard the stories that they tell
A D G-D A E
Of how they labored for this company which sold it's soul to hell...
