Song for the national action day „1 Day Without Us“ (20. Februar, www.1daywithoutus.org)
Are you sure you want to lose us?
To be sung to the chorus of „Do you really want to hurt me?“ (Culture Club)
Play recording
Are you sure you want to lose us?
Are you sure you want to drive us out?
We are actually quite useful
And we’re paying our way
We are doctors, nurses, carers
Professors, teachers and engineers
We are plumbers, builders, pickers
Baristas, cleaners, factory workers
We do jobs that you cannot do
We do jobs you do not want to do
These are jobs that do need doing
You might want to think again
There’s no need for us to stay here
We could all decide to walk away
We’re not staying if you don’t want us
We don’t need to take this pain
We’re prepared to stay here with you
We will stay here if you treat us well
We are no chips in your Brexit game
Go and think again, Ms May
