Come Join A Union! (With A Hand On The Plow) – Hank Woji
© 2011 Hank Woji - Thundering Waves Music ASCAP
We’re your sons and your daughters, your moms and your dads
We’re your aunts and your uncles, all the best friends you’ve had
We’re your brothers and sisters, we’re folks just like you
We’re all union workers, and proud to be too!
We’re teachin’ your children, we’re the cops on the beat
We pick up your garbage, from Main to Wall Street
We’re the EMS workers, and the firemen too
We’re all union workers, and we’re workin’ for you
Chorus
So come join a union, we’ll lend you a hand
Speak truth to power, across this great land
Cause the bosses won’t listen, till we organize
With a hand on the plow and our eyes on the prize
We’re the miners who work in the bowels of the earth
We’re the nurses with Mom at the time of your birth
We clean up your office at the end of each day
We’re connectin’ your cell phones and flyin’ your planes
The food on your table was picked by our hands
The music you love played by your favorite bands
The writers and the actors on your TV shows
We’re all union workers, or didn’t you know
Chorus
Now, we made all those cars, that you drive on your streets
We fixed all the potholes, mixed all the concrete
We’re the truckers who transport our goods all around
And we’re loadin’ up ships for wherever they’re bound
We built your skyscrapers, sewed clothes that you wear
We built all your churches, did you say a prayer?
For the men and the women, and the good work they do
God Bless the unions, and their workers too
Chorus
We fought for your weekends and your eight hour day
We fought for fair wages, vacations with pay
We fought for job safety, and your pensions too
When all’s said and done, we’re still fightin’ for you
Now they call it class warfare and it’s been declared
By big business interests and smug billionaires
On middle class workers and their families
But the unions are fightin’, for you and for me
Chorus X 2
