Lyrics

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin

Workin man's, it's a living wage

Workin woman, equal pay

No stinking proverty when you're creaking with age

Ask for these, and all the bosses say is

You're

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Commos to a man

Well if that's being commo

It's commo where we stand

Proud black nation gives a long black shout

Strong black art, Strong black mouth

Two hundred years too long to die

But you spit it all out and the white boss cries

You're

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Commos to a man

Well if that's being commo

It's commo where we stand

Sixty hours to kill on that endless line

Sixty hours cause you're the factory swine

Long long weeks and your brain drags down

Long long years and your backbone's gone

It's time for

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Sell your guts at the boss' price

He pays cash but you pay for your life

There's women and men standing up to their feet

While the boss pulls a knife and groans through his teeth

You're

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Commos to a man

Well if that's being commo

It's commo where we're

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin raggin red red raggin

Raggin
