Bread and Roses Revisited Lyrics

I'm so tired of screaming songs
about things that destroy our lives
I want to scream about Rachel Corrie's courage
and no compromise
and the steadfast determination to reclaim our lives
I want to scream about my friend Lenny
taking his dignity everyday to work
they traded him asbestosis for retirement
I want to scream about Urbano
he didn't die in vain
not in my home state
'cos dignity and bread for immigrant farmworkers
just can't wait
They will not fucking win
we propel this history
we're sick to death of their misery
They will not fucking win
"Small art and love and beauty
our drudging spirits knew'
yes, it's bread we fight for
but we fight for roses, too"

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
