Strawbs - Part Of The Union Lyrics
Now I'm a union manAmazed at what I amI say what I think, that the company stinksYes I'm a union manWhen we meet in the local hallI'll be voting with them allWith a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!"And the rise of the factory's fallOh, you don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionTil the day I dieTil the day I dieUs union men are wiseTo the lies of the company spiesAnd I don't get fooled by the factory rules'Cause I always read between the linesAnd I always get my wayIf I strike for higher payWhen I show my card to the Scotland YardAnd this is what I say:Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionTil the day I dieTil the day I dieBefore the union did appearMy life was half as clearNow I've got the power to the working hourAnd every other day of the yearSo though I'm a working manI can ruin the government's planAnd though I'm not hard, the sight of my cardMakes me some kind of supermanOh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionTil the day I dieTil the day I dieYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionYou don't get me, I'm part of the unionTil the day I dieTil the day I die
