(Verse 1) Sunrise, apron on, steam fills the air Green aprons like battle flags, a union born right there Starbucks slingin' dreams, but wages stuck in mud Corporate suits in ivory towers, sippin' profits like good blood (Chorus) But these baristas, they brewed themselves a fight Tied the union tight, like lattes under morning light Organizin' whispers, walkouts in the square Starbucks giants stumbled, metin' workers face to face (Verse 2) Picket lines like caramel, sweet with righteous fire Shift leads, baristas, all joined in the choir Demandin' better pay, respect for every cup No more pourin' heart and soul while profits bubbled up

(Verse 1) Espresso heartburn, deadlines like a whip Bosses on a power trip, workers feelin' stripped Wages frozen, benefits a haze EWOC whispers in the maze, lightin' up the maze (Chorus) Emergency organizers, ignitin' workplace fire Building bridges 'cross the aisles, higher and higher From retail floors to factory lines, they spread the word Union seeds take root, no worker left unheard (Verse 2) Coffee cart rallies, whispers in the breakroom hush Organizing leaflets rustlin', shakin' up the plush Bosses frown, lawyers bark, but EWOC stands its ground Workers' rights unfurled, fightin' for the middle ground (Chorus) Emergency organizers, voices strong and clear Speakin' truth to power, banishing all fear From janitors to teachers, to tech in cubicles tight EWOC weaves a tapestry, justice bathed in light
