lyrics

Workers of the world, it’s time to stand and fight
We have taken far too much, it’s time that we unite
We are working every day, never getting any pay,
There must be a better way, so now
It’s time to form an emotional labor union
It’s time to form an emotional labor union

Your mom has a birthday, but you can’t recall the date
You want to tell me all about the coworkers you hate
This is not my freakin’ job, just to listen to you sob,
Now I’m raising up a mob, to say
It’s time to form an emotional labor union
It’s time to form an emotional labor union

We’re a bargaining collective
With newfound union power
And we’ll listen to your problems
For fifty bucks an hour
And our contract is up for renegotiation
We want 4 weeks paid emotional vacation

Will you join us in our cause though the fight be long and hard?
If you do emotional labor you can get your union card
You must be out or in, for it’s time that we begin,
We will fight and we will win, today
It’s time to join the emotional labor union
It’s time to join the emotional labor union
