Here's a song that doesn't cover strikes, just the general woes of being white collar. BRING BACK THE EIGHT HOUR DAY (Charlie King) Say you work at a white collar job You're paid at a fixed monthly rate But you come in for meetings a half hour early You're working a full hour late Then you sit for an hour in traffic With the rest of the overtime drones There's a latchkey kid you must chase off to bed For you eat a cold supper alone CHORUS: So, bring back the eight hour day When did we give it away? There's so much to do When the work day is through Oh, bring back the eight hour day. They've got cellular phones for your car They've got notebook PC's for your lap When you crawl off to sleep you stay close to your beeper Now why do we stand for that crap? They tell us we have to compete No, we're tired of footing the bill Eight hours for work, eight hours for rest Eight hours for what we will. CHORUS ^^
