(An updated version of Which Side Are You On, a song written in 1931 by Florence Reece, the wife of Sam Reece, a union organizer for the United Mine Workers in Harlan County, Kentucky)

come all of you tech workers

and stop the war on tents

you've got to know you've played a role

in skyrocketing rents



chorus: which side are you on 

which side are you on 

which side are you on 

which side are you on 

 

come all of you tech workers 

the city is your bitch 

the rest of us are dying on the 

streets or in a ditch 

which side are you on... 

 

come all of you tech workers 

you've got a part to play 

we're in a housing crisis and it 

and it gets worse every day 

which side are you on... 

 

come all of you tech workers 

you can't deny the truth 

the city paved the way for tech 

and robbed us of a roof 

which side are you on... 

 

come all of you tech workers 

big tech is getting fat 

a lot of us are homeless and 

there is no app for that 

which side are you on...
