SOLIDARWIŚĆ

A Modern Labor Protest Song for Wisconsin State Employees
Who Now Find Themselves in a Crowd Scene from Hoffa*

*set to the tune “Boyz-n-the-Hood” by Eazy-E

Woke up early on a February day

Snow drifts blowin’, Sky’s all grey

Mainline coffee so the day can start

Warmin’ up the car like Dale Earnhardt

About to go when my feet just froze

My body stopped in a deer-like pose

Heard a sound like a herd of moose

People be chantin’ “No more abuse.”

I peeked thru the curtains and saw the crowd

All my fellow C’headz like a giant storm cloud

I bailed outside like a crackhead stalker

And found ‘em chantin’ “Down with Scott Walker!”

Then I let the NPR play

I heard some shit about cuttin’ my pay

It was union-bustin’ on ol’ State Street

So all y’all can read my Tweet

"Marchin' down the street in my snow boots,

Flippin’ my finger, showin’ my glutes

Tell those Koch Boyz who think they’re blessed

Welcome to the Cairo of the Midwest"**

‘Cause the peeps in the street will always win

Shit be bouncin’ off our thick skin

Now you must know, O Guvnuh Walkah

Packers winnin’ must be somethin’ in the watah

[The rest of the song devolves into a string of random obscenities]
