For the teachers of Chicago and workers everywhere.
Hazel Dickens “They’ll Never Keep Us Down”
F tune : Capo 5
C C7
United we stand, divided we fall
F C
For every dime they give us a battle must be fought
E Am
So working people use your power to key to liberty
C G7 C
Don’t support that rich man’s style of luxury
C
There ain’t no way they can ever keep us down oh no
C7 G7
There ain’t no way they can ever keep us down
C C7
We won’t be bought, we won’t be sold
F
To be treated right, well that’s our goal
C G7 C
There ain’t no way they can ever keep us down
We’ve been shot, we’ve been jailed, Lord it’s a sin
Women and little children stood right by the men
We’ve got a union contract that keeps the workers free
They’ll never shoot that union out of me
They’ll never shoot that union out of me, oh no
They’ll never shoot that union out of me
Got a contract in our hand signed by the blood of honest men
They’ll never shoot that union out of me
The power wheel is rolling, rolling right along
The government just keeps it going going strong
So working people get your help from your own kind
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind, oh no
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mind
They want the power in their hand just keep down the workers band
Your welfare ain’t on the rich man’s mindThey’ll never, never, never keep us down, oh no
They’ll never, never, never keep us down
They can cheat, lie, frame or kill but we’ll stop that big wheel
There ain’t no way they can ever keep us down

Yes, I’ve heard the whole thing. Yes, I have thoughts on it. I’m deliberately sitting with them.
Thanks to @Marathonpacks for the idea. When critiquing a piece of writing that is obviously troll bait published by an unethical publisher who wants hits at any cost, don’t “feed the troll” by clicking on it. Someone screen grab the article and repost it, then we can comment and drive traffic to progessive sites where we can moderate the discussion.
Here’s today’s hideous Village Voice Media trollbait:
