Macka B - Give The Workers - Lyrics
Hey you, Mr big fat cat boss,
Your company makes millions of pounds a year,
When are you gonna give the workers their fair share?
Give the workers more of di profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it,
Give the workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it.
Hey Mr big man a make all di profit,
You make all di profit
In a your own pocket,
A what about the workers?
All them should a get it,
From the ones in the office,
To the one with the bucket,
Them help make the profit,
They should get some of it,
Put some of the profit,
In a their pay packet,
When them 65 you give them a watch or a locket,
Stop it!
Cuz the people no take it.
Give the workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it,
Give the workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it.
All the workers make a the profit go up so fast,
And all the workers a come to work 8 o'clock sharp,
And all the workers a come a work without breakfast,
And the workers a do all the hard graft.
Company make a profit,
It never make a loss,
And the only one fi get a pay rise was the boss,
They never give no rise to the rest of the staff,
The boss him a laugh and buy another race horse.
Give the workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it,
Give the workers more of your profit,
All of the workers listen,
If all is not well Rebel,
An' give them hell,
Stand up for your rights and yell,
If all is not right,
Strike!
And give dem a fight,
Cuz them can't treat the workers just how them like!
More pay!
A weh the workers a ask for,
More pay!
No to slave labour,
More pay!
Increase the wages,
More pay!
Fi help with the mortgage,
More pay!
More co-operation,
More pay!
In line with inflation,
More pay!
Share out the wealth,
You can't want all a di money fi yourself!
Give the workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it,
Give your workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it.
Hey Mr big man a make all di profit,
You make all di profit in a your own pocket,
A what about the workers?
All them should a make it,
From the ones in the office,
To the one with the bucket,
Them help make the profit,
They should get some of it,
Put some of the profit,
In a their pay packet,
When them 65 you give them a watch or a locket,
Stop it!
Cuz the worker no take it.
Give the workers more of your profit,
Cuz you got, Yes you got it,
Give the workers more of your profit,
All of the workers,
If all is not well Rebel,
An' give them hell,
Stand up for your rights and yell,
If all is not right,
Strike!
And give dem a fight,
Cuz them can't treat the workers just how them like!
More pay!
A weh the workers a ask for,
More pay!
No to slave labour,
More pay!
Increase the wages,
More pay!
Fi help with the mortgage,
More pay!
More co-operation,
More pay!
In line with inflation,
More pay!
Share out the wealth,
You can't want all a di money fi yourself!
