Danbert Nobacon - When Push Comes to Shove

When push comes to shove

As albert einstein said ... we can’t solve our problems
With the same thinking that was used create them
As frederick douglass said .... power concedes nothing without a demand
Never did ... never will ... so here are our demands:

It’s not rocket science, it’s really quite simple
To love who we want and to have some room to breathe
Some dеmocracy in the workplace, some dеmocracy in our paychecks
Some health and well-being ... for the planet and 4 all

So this is a love song ... from the bottom up
We’re done being pushed ... enough is enough
And there are more than enough of us ... for this push and shove
With love ... (push!) ... (shove!) ... from the working class with love ... (push!) ... (shove!)

Break

As percy bysshe shelley said rise like lions
Shake your chains ye are many they are few
As harriet tubman said, don’t ever stop
Keep on going if you wanna taste of freedom keep on going

It’s not rocket science, it’s really quite simple
To love who we want and to have some room to breathe
Some democracy in the workplace, some democracy in our paychecks
Some health and well-being ... for the planet and 4 all
So this is a love song ... from the bottom up
We’re done being pushed ... enough is enough
And there are more than enough of us ... for this push and shove
With love ... (push!) ... (shove!) ... from the working class with love ... (push!) ... (shove!)

Break

Which side are you on? which side are you on?
Which side are you on? which side are you on?

A little bit of moo-oo-ve-ment ... make some wiggle room ... push! ... shove!
A little bit of moo-oo-ve-ment ... eek out the legroom ... push! ... shove!
A little bit of moo-oo-ve-ment ... make the elbow room ... push! ... shove!
A little bit of moo-oo-ve-ment ... flex our collective muscle ... here we go
