Bearheart Lyr Req: Union songs referring to 'steal' (7) Lyr Req: Labor Union songs referring to 'steal' 16 Jan 25

So friends on Facebook were talking about Musk, and one said something about how much he"earns" ($43,000 per minute), and some of us were questioning the use of that term. People were suggesting "grab" or "confiscate" or "acquire".

I am pretty sure there is a labor union song that refers to one of the ultra rich of bygone eras as "stealing" from the workers. (There might be several). That seemed a much more apt term to me.

But my 70 year old brain is having trouble retrieving it.

Can anyone help me? Since several of the posters are folk musicians, I'd like to add that to the conversation.
