Co-op Song

Doing it Together By D J Pyle and C A Naus 

 

 For group vocals with optional instrumentation 

 

 In the style of a work song (clapping and stomping encouraged) (Verse 1) 

 

 C 

 I used to have a boss 

 

F 

 Who would tell me what to do 

 

 C 

 I worked real hard 

 

F 

 The whole day through 

 

C 

 At the end of the week 

  F 

 A soul I would lack 

 

Am     

      (C)

 

 So I walked out the door 

 

F           E 

 And I’m never going back 

 

 (Chorus) 

 

 F 

 We’re doing it together 

 

C              G 

 For ourselves, for fun 

 

F 

 For something to do 

 

C 

 All it took was me and you 

 

 (Verse 2) 

 

C 

 You can’t eat money 

 

F 

 But you can eat bread 

 

C 

 We’re kneading what we need 

 

F 

 So we all get fed 

 

C 

 From the cracks in the concrete 

 

F 

 There’s treasure to be found 

 

       Am       (C) 

 As the machinery of capital 

 F              E 

 Crumbles to the ground 

 

 (Chorus repeat) 

 

 (Verse 3) 

   C

 

 So walk into the future 

 

F 

 While facing to the past 

 

C 

 By learning through doing 

 

 

 

 

 

 F 

 The possibilities are vast 

 

C 

 So don’t just stand there 

 F 

 Staring at your feet 

 

Am           (C) 

 Because the fight for liberation 

 

 F 

 

 E 

 Will never be complete 

 

 

 (Chorus x2 - slowing down for ending)
