 DUMP THE BOSSES OFF YOUR BACK

(Tune: "Take It to the Lord in Prayer")

By John Brill Are you poor, forlorn and hungry?
 * Are there lots of things you lack?

Is your life made up of misery?
 * Then dump the bosses off your back.

Are your clothes all patched and tattered?
 * Are you living in a shack?

Would you have your troubles scattered?
 * Then dump the bosses off your back.

Are you almost split asunder?
 * Loaded like a long-eared jack?

Boob—why don't you buck like thunder?
 * And dump the bosses off your back.

All the agonies you suffer, You can end with one good whack— Stiffen up, you orn'ry duffer—
 * And dump the bosses off your back.

One Big Union tactics are simply the efficiency system applied to the class struggle.
