Hazard Pay Lyrics


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
