Steals another million from the poor to reinvest that million

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

First oppearance, 36th edition.

First we worked twelve, then ten, now eight,

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

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)
