Therefore you're against cheaters. Are you for trump? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted August 21, 2023 Share Posted August 21, 2023 These are the lyrics with a solution. when will they ever learn? When will they everrr learn? [Verse 1] If you're selling your soul, working all day Overtime hours for bull#### pay Well, nothing's gonna change if all you do Is wish you could wake up and it not be true [Chorus] Join a union Fight for better pay You better join a union, brother Organise today You'll see where the problem really lies When the union comes around Rich men earning north of a million Wanna keep the working folk down Wanna keep the working folk down [Verse 2] If you form a union, you'll soon find That working people are all of one kind So we ain't gonna punch down on those who need A bit of understanding and some solidarity That ain't right friend [Verse 3] If you're struggling with your health and you're putting on the pounds Doctor gives you opiates to help you get around Well, wouldn't it be better for folks like you and me If medicine was subsidised and healthcare was free? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is Woody and Dylan and all the great folk singers never punched down, making other downtrodden people the object of their scorn. Complaining about DC elites as they line their pockets = punching down. Awesome! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll line ones up for Asheville and Charlottesville, too. and Durham is what? Durham is a city in North Carolina. It's part of the Research Triangle Region, known for its technology companies and scholarly institutions. On the Duke University campus are the neo-Gothic Duke Chapel and the Nasher Museum of Art, with work by contemporary artists like Christian Marclay and Ai Weiwei. The Museum of Life + Science has hands-on exhibits, a butterfly house and wildlife habitats for bears and lemurs Durham is the most ethnically diverse of the major communities in the state, with roughly a 50/50 split between white residents and residents who are African American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian, Native American or other people of color.

Lord you're stooo- pid. Asheville is in NC. Quite possibly the most beautiful city in the state. And largely blue. Characteristics it shares with Charlottesville. Which is in Va which is where the songwriter is from. He won't be playing shows there as that's not who he's speaking to or who is buying his crap.

If i had to choose, i would definitely be against white collar cheating more than welfare cheating. But my post wasn't about me, it was about the reality for others who the song is speaking to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Ashville/Charlotteville are not very diverse. is that why you like them so? last I knew he only played some farmers fair and opened it up by reading the bible. what is he selling and to who?
