She can't afford to drive to work
To a job  that treats her like dirt
Less than 25k a year
The situation is severe
That she's gonna strike
Despite the risk 

Crazy hours that would drive you mad
Underpaid and understaffed
Years of abuse
There is no excuse
And so it's come to this

Oh, the Walmart life
Get out on that picket line
Make this friday black
Take this friday back
Oh, the Walmart life

Instead of greedy stock buybacks      
That line the pockets of Sam Walton's brats
You could pay a living wage
To every worker at every stage
You could do good
By doing better

 When the union organizers talk
You bully, intimidate and mock
But you've crossed the line
The workers say not this time
You can't expect people to lay down forever
