Lyrics:
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 factories
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 factories
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
When the union's inspiration
Through the workers' blood
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
When the union's inspiration
Through the workers' blood
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
more power in the union's hands,
These companies still profit at the cost of workers lives.
Will you comply with ignorance, or will you take a stand?
power in a union
Now the lessons of the past were all learned in workers' blood
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
From the cities
and lead us.
Show us a man.
Workers of the nation unite.
Workers of the nation unite.

Then in 1926 they decided to be free
So they all went on strike and
The workers told the unions, who

Well a worker goes to work each day
He goes to work to earn his pay, earn his pay
The boss don't like the union
cos the union makes the workers
When the Union's inspiration through the worker's blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun
Yet what force on earth is
Now, if you want higher wages let me tell you what to do
You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you.
You got to build you a union, got
Now, if you want higher wages let me tell you what to do
You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you.

What kind of life is this to lead
Do we need a union-yea!
