• Union Town

Good memories are forever

Said the dog on the tombstone

If you’re livin’ underneath a bridge, man

All roads lead to home

I gotta hidden flask and I’m paid in cash

Gotta cross above my bed

I hitchhiked from Chicago

And a man walked up and said



This is a union town, a union town

All down the line

This is a union town, a union town

All down the line

And if you come to strip our rights away

We’ll give you hell every time

This is a union town, a union town

All down the line



Today the policeman’s a union man

Brother firefighter’s my friend

And the kids locked in the Capitol

Are fighting ‘til the end

And we’re not gonna break tonight

And we’re not gonna bend

Some say the union’s down

But I asked around

And everybody said



This is a union town, a union town

All down the line

This is a union town, a union town

All down the line

And if they come to strip our rights away

We’ll give ‘em hell every time

This is a union town, a union town

All down the line



For every action, a reaction

Equal and opposite

That’s why, my friend, the blood tastes good

Every time I’m hit

I gotta will to win and a Cheshire grin

The Nightwatchman is near

And you can’t get it where you’re at

But you can sure get it here



So, come rain or sleet or dark of night

Come wind or frigid snow

There’s 100,000 in the street

And that number’s gonna grow

And when we put the governor on trial

I’ll be in the front row

Just take a look around

We’re a union town

One, two, three, four – let’s go!



This is a union town, a union town

All down the line

This is a union town, a union town

All down the line

And if they come to strip our rights away

We’ll give ‘em hell every time

This is a union town, a union town

All down the line
SOLIDARITY FOREVER



Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong



When the union’s inspiration

Through the workers’ blood shall run

There can be no power greater

Anywhere beneath the sun

Yet what force on earth is weaker

Than the feeble strength of one?

But the union makes us strong



Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong



It is we who ploughed the prairies

Built the cities where they trade

Dug the mines and built the workshops

Endless miles of railroad laid

Now we stand outcast and starving

‘Midst the wonders we have made

But the union makes us strong



Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong



They have taken untold millions

That they never toiled to earn

But without our brain and muscle

Not a single wheel can turn

We can break their haughty power

Gain our freedom when we learn

That the union makes us strong



Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong



In our hands is placed a power

Greater than their hoarded gold

Greater than the might of armies

Magnified a thousand-fold

We can bring to birth a new world

From the ashes of the old

For the Union makes us strong



Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

Solidarity forever

For the union makes us strong
