There Is Power In A Union
Billy Bragg| Original | La versione cantata dai MCR |
| 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 There is power in the factories, 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 |
