God rest ye weary laborers,
you need a living wage
and factories healthy, safe, and clean
and just eight hour days.
To save us all from corporate power,
and values gone astray.
O tidings of justice and rights,
human rights, O tidings of justice and rights!
T’was down in
Guatemala,
we found some workers stressed
who slaved on thirteen hour shifts
so we could be well-dressed.
And paid just thirty cents an hour
while Wal-Mart feathers its nest
O tidings of justice and rights,
human rights, O tidings of justice and rights
O come you people
of good heart,
and make a witness strong.
Tell Wal-Mart we don't want these clothes
that come from something wrong.
Such exploitation hurts us all,
that’s why we sing this song.
O tidings of justice and rights,
human rights, O tidings of justice and rights!
