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)
