Katie Bar the Door |
When I graduated high school |
College not my scene |
So I got a job at home for me |
Feeling good about my opportunity |
It’s got benefits and decent pay… but they say |
We hit a stalemate, looks bleak for us |
A strike or lock-out or wholesale bust |
Think to myself what a hell of a start |
As we file down to Kate’s Tavern |
Katie, bar the door, we are jumping off the rails |
Any hope for calm went John B. Sails |
We’re in your pub tonight to sing of good days left behind |
And raise a glass to better times |
The rumor mill’s dispelled the official word comes down |
They’re gonna move our jobs real far away |
Settle to another country where mistreatment for the workers is so commonplace. |
. |
the judge says |
«We cannot stop them, they’re free to go» |
He looks me in the eyes he says «I can’t help you son» |
Whatever happened to America? |
She was sold twenty-six fuckin' long years ago |
Katie, bar the door, we are jumping off the rails |
Any hope for calm went John B. Sails |
We’re in your pub tonight to sing of good days left behind |
And raise a glass to better times |
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey |
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey |
Why sing about the unions again? |
They have all died away |
We are now in the midst of a brand new world economy |
I don’t believe them, I won’t despair |
They are regrouping, they’re coming back to stay |
Twelve percent can climb back up to fifty percent |
Once again, my friend, a message we’ll send |
Katie, bar the door, we are jumping off the rails |
Any hope for calm went John B. Sails |
We’re in your pub tonight to sing of good days left behind |
And raise a glass to better times |
Katie, bar the door, we are jumping off the rails |
Any hope for calm went John B. Sails |
We’re in your pub tonight to sing of good days left behind |
And raise a glass to better times |
We’ll raise a glass to better times |
We’ll raise a glass to better times |
