We asked for hazard pay Set foot outside our homes at risk Exposed on every shift Death count rises every day We asked for hazard pay (chorus) What could have been adequate compensation Was paid to private armies, fuelling our frustration Murders in the streets to keep the crowds at bay The pot is boiling over we're finally enraged Upstairs they get to be safe They piss on those with lives at stake We only asked for hazard pay For once a living wage Death count's still risin' We asked for hazard pay We got our hazard pay For revolution in exchange Redistribution of the wage From resurrected guillotine Yeah we got hazard pay We got hazard pay
