Troublemaker

They call me troublemaker ‘cause I’m finally saying “No”

I’ve been working hard and yet my pay is still so low

But when I spoke my mind they said

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker

They call me greedy worker ‘cause I want my rollback back

In my employer’s time of need I tried to help them get on track

And when I ask to share in the profits they said

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker

They call me troublemaker ‘cause I walk that picket line

Telling this new contractor they’ve taken what is mine

But when I walk where I’d be seen they said

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker

They call me scaremonger because I won’t agree 

To someone making profits from the healthcare that we need

But when I asked who’s making money they said

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker

They call me troublemaker ‘cause I’m gonna demonstrate

And make sure human rights don’t take a back seat to world trade

But as I blocked their loggin’ road they said

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker

They call me an idealist because I want to close the gap

Troublemaker

So next time I cast my vote I’ll say

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker

“Troublemaker’s got to go”

Troublemaker…troublemaker
