Strawbs - Part Of The Union lyrics

rate me

Now I'm a union man<br />

Amazed at what I am<br />

I say what I think, that the company stinks<br />

Yes I'm a union man<br />

<br />

When we meet in the local hall<br />

I'll be voting with them all<br />

With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!"<br />

And the rise of the factory's fall<br />

<br />

Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

Until the day I die<br />

Until the day I die<br />

<br />

The union has made me wise<br />

To the lies of the company spies<br />

And I don't get fooled by the factory rules<br />

'cause I always read between the lines<br />

<br />

And I always get my way<br />

If I strike for higher pay<br />

When I show my card to the Scotland Yard<br />

And this is what I say:<br />

<br />

Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

Until the day I die<br />

Until the day I die<br />

<br />

Before the union did appear<br />

My life was half as clear<br />

Now I've got the power to the working hour<br />

And every other day of the year<br />

<br />

So though I'm a working man<br />

I can ruin the government's plan<br />

And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card<br />

Makes me some kind of superman<br />

<br />

Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

Until the day I die<br />

Until the day I die<br />

<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

You don't get me, I'm part of the union<br />

Until the day I die<br />

Until the day I die
