Billy Bragg - There Is Power In A Union

Billy Bragg

There Is Power In A Union

There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hands of a worker
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
There is 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 and the farmlands to trenches full of mud
War has always been the bosses' way, sir.

The Union forever, defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union.

Now I long for the morning that they realise
Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise
When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us?

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
There is power in a Union.

The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union.

There is power in a Union.
With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
The Union forever defending our rights

There is power in a Union.
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone
Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own

When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us?
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise
Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us
Now I long for the morning that they realise

There is power in a Union.
With our brothers and out sisters from many far off lands
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
The Union forever, defending our rights

War has always been the bosses' way, sir.
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood

There is power in a Union.
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
Power in the hands of a worker
There is power in a factory, power in the land
