The Closed Shop |
Born a poor worker’s son |
Taught to fight for all his rights |
Life for him’s just begun |
Union might his leading light. |
It’s a shame and it’s a sin |
They don’t know the mood they’re in Until they strike for what is right |
Not what has been. |
Shop floor, that’s where he’s at Back to back, bring out the rack |
Squeeze them 'til they react |
Wield the gun; |
see how they run. |
It’s a shame and it’s a sin |
Until they strike for what is right |
Not what has been. |
All out of freedom, all out for more |
Show them we mean it, tell them the score |
Brother for brother, that’s what we’re for |
Don’t give us reasons |
Our reasons has gone out the door. |
Born a poor worker’s son |
Taught to fight for all his rights |
Life for him’s just begun |
Union might his leading light. |
It’s a shame and it’s a sin |
They don’t know the mood they’re in Until they strike for what is right |
Not what has been. |
