Union Song


For the fired auto workers

Who were twisted, tricked and robbed



And she can't feed her family

On the pennies that she makes

Meanwhile the crime rate's rising

Up and down the Great Lake states

Like vegetables left in the field


On the contracts and the deeds

That push the race down to the bottom


As they fire another round


Dig in man, hold your ground


Who fought in their own time

For our brothers and our sisters

Up and down that picket line

For the unnamed and unnumbered

Who struggle brave and long

For the union men and women

Standing up and standing strong

Si nos quedemos

Juntos vamos a ganar? Si !

Hit em where it hurts

And bite the hand that feeds



But I know where I'm gonna be

I'm gonna be right on that front line

Now dirty scabs will cross the line

While others stand aside and look

But ain't nobody never got nothin'

That didn't raise their voice and push





From the sweatshops of L.A.

To the fields of Mission Flats

There's a thunder cloud exploding
