There Is Power In A Union Sözleri

[Originally by Billy Bragg]

There is power in a democracy, power in the land

Power in the hands of a worker

But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand

There is a power in a Union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood

The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for

From the cities to the farmlands in the trenches full of mud

Cuz war has always been the bosses' way sir

The Union forever defending our rights

Let's fight the Right Wing, all workers unite

With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands

There is power in a Union

Now I long for the time that they realize

Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us

But who'll defend the workers who cannot organize

When the GOP send their attorneys out to cheat us?

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own

Who'll come speak for the skin and the bone?

What a comfort to widow, a light for the child

There is power in a Union

The Union forever defending our rights

Let's fight the Right Wing, all workers unite

With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands

There is power in a Union

With social justice and equality

For every man and woman who wants it

There is power in a Union
