Lyrics
I THINK YOU NEED SOME SOLIDARITY
1) When you're bogged in the 'dog-eat-dog';
When looking out for number one won't do.
When you're broke, at the end of your rope;
And the whole world is caving in on you -
[CHORUS I think you need some solidarity,
Some real support, some human company.
I got more than tea and sympathy;
I got something that starts from the hearts - it's SOLIDARITY !
2) When you're trapped, under attack;
When all the vultures are circling over you.
When you're in hock, hit bottom rock;
The reins of poverty are jerking on you
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE] They rule the seas, they're the powers that be;
You'll never beat them alone. You see -
The only damn thing that's gonna break that chain
Is when we stand hand and hand and join together again !
3) When you're down, left on the ground;
Underneath he heals and wheels of history;
When you've been burned, got no where to turn,
Teetering on the edge of insanity -
[CHORUS]...Just raise your voice...make some noise...silent majority will never do...
...I think it's time to step out of line...you might as well you got nothing to lose...with SOLIDARITY !
