We steal a million from the poor

To reinvest that million ull it

Steals another million from the poor to reinvest that million

Till it steals another million from the poor to. . .

Collected from the Rebel Song Book, Rand School, NY, (934.

First oppearance, 36th edition.

First we worked twelve, then ten, now eight,

And I don't understand why we have to wait,

Just to roll the hours back again,

We're gonna roll the hours back again,

We're gonna roll, we're gonna roll,

We're gonna roll the hours back.

One worker, two workers, three workers, four.

Locked outside of the factory door,

Shoutin’ roll the hours back again . . .

Hundreds of the hungry, thousands of the poor,

Millions of the workers marchin’ on the door,

Singin’ roll the hours back again. . .

Bosses by the dozen, bosses by the gross,

Bosses by the carload feelin’ real morose,

Hearin’ roll the hours back again. . .

(Repeat first verse and first chorus)

First published in the April 1976 issue of the Industrial Worker.
