It is safe to say that this will be a historic and potentially volatile week with the 2016 presidential election on Tuesday. As much as I hope one particular candidate wins over the other, my more cynical side realizes that regardless of our next president, the working class seems to get the shaft. When all is said and done, the candidates are rich people who have rich friends who are going to benefit more than we ever will. That being said, there is something proud and glorious about being in the working class, even if we never really get all that we are promised. Sorry for being cynical again... hopefully I will be wrong. To that note, please enjoy Dropkick Murphys Worker's Song from 2003. Although, they did not write the song, they gave it their signature guttural Celtic-punk edge. Before they broke through, they had a series of albums; Worker's Song is on the "Blackout" album, one of the last albums before they gained mainstream popularity with Shipping Up to Boston.
