If the workers take a notion,
They can stop all speeding trains;
EVERY SHIP UPON THE OCEANS
They can tie with mighty chains
Every wheel in the creation,
Every mine and every mill,
Fleets and armies of the nation,
Will at their command stand still.
- Joe Hill (1914)

The law locks up the man or woman
Who steals the goose from off the common
But leaves the greater villain loose
Who steals the common from off the goose
The law demands that we atone
When we take things we do not own
But leaves the lords and ladies fine
Who take things that are yours and mine

Gotta know where you been.
