Which Side Are You On? Lyrics

they stole a few elections,
still we the people won
We voted out corruption and
big corporations

we voted for an end to war
new direction
we ain't gonna stop now
until our job is done

come on all good workers
this year is our time
Now there some folks in washington
who cares what's on our minds

come one-come all voters
lets all vote next time
show 'em which side are you on now
which side are you on

which side are you on now
which side are you on
which side are you on now
which side are you on

which side are you on now
which side are you on
which side are you on now
which side are you on

30 years of diggin'
got us in this hole
the curse of reaganomics
has finally taken it's toll

lord knows the free market
is anything but free
it costs dearly to the planet
and the likes of you and me

i don't need those money lenders
suckin' on my tit
a little socialism
don't scare me one bit!

we could do a whole lot worse
than europe or canada
c'mon mr. president
c'mon congress make the law

which side are you on now
which side are you on
which side are you on now
which side are you on

they say in orleans parish
there are no neutrals there
there's just too much misery
there's too much despair

america who are we
now our innocence is gone
which side are you on now
which side are you on

too many stories written
out in black and white
c'mon people of privilege
it's time to join the fight

are we living in the shadow of slavery
or are we moving on
tell me which side are you on now
which side are you on

which side are you on boys
which side are you on
which side are you on boys
which side are you on
which side are you on boys
which side are you on
which side are you on now
which side are you on

my mother was a feminist
she taught me to see
that the road to ruin is paved
with patriarchy

so, let the way of the women
guide democracy
from plunder and pollution
let mother earth be free

feminism ain't about women
no, that's not who it is for
it's about a shifting consciousness
that'll bring an end to war

so listen up you fathers
listen up you sons
which side are you on now
which side are you on

which side are you on now
which side are you on
which side are you on now
which side are you on

so are we just consumers
or are we citizens
are we gonna make more garbage
or are we gonna make amends

are you part of the solution
or are you part of the con?
which side are you on now
which side are you on?

Cover art for Which Side Are You On? lyrics by Ani DiFranco

This sounds like such a brilliant re-invention of a classic protest song as only Ani could do!

This is the most sadly ignorant view of American politics imaginable. Not to mention American History.

England enslaved more Africans than we did and used them throughout the world. There were more Irish enslaved than blacks in the U.S.

Why can't I be allowed to keep the efforts of MY LABOR!

Socialism is slavery. It is the government making you work, and taking the fruit of your labor away from you so it can spent your money on itself!

Obama is spending money on WAR in Afganistan, not on the homeless! Wake up Ani! Socialism...
