Once And For All

There's change comin' once and for all

You makes the front page, and man, you is major news

Tomorrow they'll see what we are

And sure as star, we ain't come this far to lose

Here they come

This is the story we needed to write thats been kept out out of sight, but no more

In a few hours, by dawn's early light we'll be ready to fight us a war

This time we're in it to stay

Talk about seizing the day

Write it in ink or in blood, it's the same either way

They're gonna damn well pay

See Ol'man Pulitzer snug in his bed, he don't care if we're dead or alive

Three satin pillows are under his head while we're beggin' for bread to survive

Joe, you can stop countin' sheep

We're gonna sing ya to sleep

You got your thugs with their sticks and their slugs, yeah, but we got a promise to keep

Once and for all, if they don't mind their manners we'll bleed 'em

Bleed 'em

Once and for all we won't carry no banners that don't spell"Freedom!"

Fin'lly we'se raisin' the stakes, this time whatever it takes

This time the union awakes once and for all

C'mon boys! Let's get 'em

This is for kids shinin' shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday

This is for guys sweatin' blood in the shops while the bosses and cops look away

I'm seein' kids standin' tall, glaring and rarin' to brawl

Armies of guys who are sick of the lies gettin' ready to rise to the call

Once and for all there'll be blood on the wall if they doubt us

They think they're running this town but this town will shut down without us

Ten thousand kids in the square

Ten thousand fists in the air

Joe you is gonna play fair, once and for all

Once and for all

Once and for all

Once and for all

There's change comin' once and for all

You're getting too old too weak to keep holdin' on

A new world is gunnin' for you, and Joe we is too

Till once and for all you're gone

Once and for all

Once and for all

Once and for all

Once and for all
