One day more, one day more
People let me tell you what we’re fighting for
We’re fighting for our future, don’t you understand?
And we don’t need your pity, we just need your helping hand

To fight one day more, one day more
If the company holds out 20 years
We’ll hold out one day more

One day more, one day more
If the company holds out 20 years
We’ll hold out one day more

Let’s change the laws, remove the flaws
And start all over again
Demand our rights, take back our land
Square freedom through and through
Keep the scabs out of the White House
Vote union brothers in
And then the Feds won’t ever take us off
In a ball and chains again

To fight one day more, one day more
If the company holds out 20 years
We’ll hold out one day more
One day more, one day more
If the company holds out 20 years
We’ll hold out one day more

One day more, one day more
People let me tell you
What we’re fighting for
We’re fighting for your future
Don’t you understand
You won’t need our pity
You’ll just need our helping hand

To fight one day more, one day more
If the company holds out 20 years
We’ll hold out one day more
One day more, one day more
If the company can hold out 20 years
We can hold out one day more
