Time for protest songs! "Which side are you on?" by Pete Seeger

https://genius.com/Pete-seeger-which-side-are-you-on-lyrics

Come all of you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good ol' union
Has come in here to dwell
[
Chorus]
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on?

My daddy was a miner
And I'm a miner's son
And I'll stick with the union
'Til every battle's won
[
Chorus]
They say in Harlan County
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Blair

[Chorus]


(J.H. Blair = Donald J. Trump)
