This government had an idea
|
And parliament made it law
|
It seems like it's illegal
|
To fight for the union any more
|
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
|
We set out to join the picket line
|
For together we cannot fail
|
We got stopped by police at the county line
|
They said, "Go home boys or you're going to jail"
|
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
|
It's hard to explain to a crying child
|
Why her Daddy can't go back
|
So the family suffer
|
But it hurts me more
|
To hear a scab say Sod you, Jack
|
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
Which side are you on, boys
|
Which side are you on?
|
|
I'm bound to follow my conscience
|
And do whatever I can
|
But it'll take much more than the union law
|
To knock the fight out of a working man
|
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
Which side are you on, boys?
|
Which side are you on?
|
