Lyrics

[00:14.11] There's change comin' once and for all
[00:19.51] You makes the front page, and man, you is major news
[00:26.45] Tomorrow they'll see what we are
[00:32.10] And sure as star, we ain't come this far to lose
[00:44.48] Here they come
[00:48.63] This is the story we needed to write thats been kept out out of sight, but no more
[00:54.14] In a few hours, by dawn's early light we'll be ready to fight us a war
[00:59.55] This time we're in it to stay
[01:02.75] Talk about seizing the day
[01:05.54] Write it in ink or in blood, it's the same either way
[01:09.87] They're gonna damn well pay
[01:11.38] See Ol'man Pulitzer snug in his bed, he don't care if we're dead or alive
[01:16.74] Three satin pillows are under his head while we're beggin' for bread to survive
[01:22.75] Joe, you can stop countin' sheep
[01:25.64] We're gonna sing ya to sleep
[01:28.44] You got your thugs with their sticks and their slugs, yeah, but we got a promise to keep
[01:34.25] Once and for all, if they don't mind their manners we'll bleed 'em
[01:38.69] Bleed 'em
[01:39.89] Once and for all we won't carry no banners that don't spell"Freedom!"
[01:45.59] Fin'lly we'se raisin' the stakes, this time whatever it takes
[01:51.15] This time the union awakes once and for all
[01:56.48] C'mon boys! Let's get 'em
[02:01.77] This is for kids shinin' shoes on the street with no shoes on their feet everyday
[02:06.96] This is for guys sweatin' blood in the shops while the bosses and cops look away
[02:12.60] I'm seein' kids standin' tall, glaring and rarin' to brawl
[02:18.37] Armies of guys who are sick of the lies gettin' ready to rise to the call
[02:24.18] Once and for all there'll be blood on the wall if they doubt us
[02:29.83] They think they're running this town but this town will shut down without us
[02:35.44] Ten thousand kids in the square
[02:38.44] Ten thousand fists in the air
[02:41.28] Joe you is gonna play fair, once and for all
[02:51.69] Once and for all
[02:56.95] Once and for all
[03:02.69] Once and for all
[03:08.79] There's change comin' once and for all
[03:13.81] You're getting too old too weak to keep holdin' on
[03:20.59] A new world is gunnin' for you, and Joe we is too
[03:27.39] Till once and for all you're gone
[03:40.85] Once and for all
[03:43.46] Once and for all
[03:46.38] Once and for all
[03:50.10] Once and for all
