Born a poor worker's son
|
Taught to fight for all his rights
|
Life for him's just begun
|
Union might is the leading light
|
It's a shame and it's a sin
|
They don't know the mood they're in
|
Until they strike for what is right
|
Not what has been
|
|
Shop floor, that's where he's at
|
Back to back, bring out the rack
|
Squeeze them 'til they retract
|
Wield the gun, see how they run
|
|
It's a shame and it's a sin
|
They don't know the mood they're in
|
Until they strike for what is right
|
Not what has been
|
|
All out for freedom, all out for more
|
Show them we mean it, tell them the score
|
Brother for brother, that's what we're for
|
Don't give us your reasons
|
Our reason has gone out the door
|
|
Born a poor worker's son
|
Taught to fight for all his rights
|
Life for him's just begun
|
Union might is the leading light
|
|
It's a shame and it's a sin
|
They don't know the mood they're in
|
Until they strike for what is right
|
Not what has been
|
