Ted James - Our Future (feat. Jennifer James)Bridge: Ted JamesWe will not take another back seat to your cutsYou've broken trust with the people grinding dreams into dustStained our safety net with rust courting free market lustThrough the business of your bluster, pushed our patience to the cuspOf a massive demonstration marching swiftly towards the domeWorking class determination: that resonates from in our bonesWe'll organize a delegation, ensure the seeds of change are sownOur future, our Texas, we will occupy our homeVerse One: Ted JamesPrecious pennies get pinched, can't move an inchParadise can't exist getting squeezed by the richStagnant wages, no glitch, just an economic stitchIn the fabric of a society dangling over the fiscal cliffThe whole model is adrift without a job to upliftWhen that college loan debt is all regret, something shiftsWatch the time tick, tick, we on the line, picket's thickThey have managed the decline but we'll rebuild it brick by brickChorus: Ted & Jennifer JamesStand up, be heard, and get on the busWe're gonna march and yell, we're gonna make a fussThe fight is hard and the road is longOur future's bright when the union's strong (Repeat)Bridge: Ted JamesWe will not take another back seat to your cutsYou've broken trust with the people grinding dreams into dustStained our safety net with rust courting free market lustThrough the business of your bluster, pushed our patience to the cuspOf a massive demonstration marching swiftly towards the domeWorking class determination: that resonates from in our bonesWe'll organize a delegation, ensure the seeds of change are sownOur future, our Texas, we will occupy our homeVerse Two: Ted JamesVoodoo profiteers play tricks on our careersPull a quarter out the ear to make our pensions disappearWe give blood, sweat, and tears; 25 to 30 yearsPunch in here, don’t interfere, this is how they domineerIn the Lear so cavalier, looking down at the austereDaily grinding of the gears, keep us minding out of fearUntil the unionists appear, on the steps to make it clearThe time for bargaining is near; we will persevereChorus: Ted & Jennifer JamesStand up, be heard, and get on the busWe're gonna march and yell, we're gonna make a fussThe fight is hard and the road is longOur future's bright when the union's strong (Repeat)© 2013 Millinium VII Entertainment / Produced by Ted James / Mixed by Ted James / Recorded at The House of Jeezy Studios / This song contains parts of a recording of “Paradise” by Coldplay and parts of a recording of "Paradise (B.E.A.T.
