Part Of The Union Lyrics - Strawbs

Now I'm a union man 

Amazed at what I am 

I say what I think, that the company stinks 

Yes I'm a union man 

When we meet in the local hall 

I'll be voting with them all 

With a hell of a shout, it's "Out brothers, out!" 

And the rise of the factory's fall 

Oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

Until the day I die, until the day I die 

As a union man I'm wise 

To the lies of the company spies 

And I don't get fooled by the factory rules 

'Cause I always read between the lines 

And I always get my way 

If I strike for higher pay 

When I show my card to the Scotland Yard 

And this is what I say 

Oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

Until the day I die, until the day I die 

Before the union did appear 

My life was half as clear 

Now I've got the power to the working hour 

And every other day of the year 

So though I'm a working man 

I can ruin the government's plan 

And though I'm not hard, the sight of my card 

Makes me some kind of superman 

Oh, oh, oh, you don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

Until the day I die, until the day I die 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

You don't get me, I'm part of the union 

Until the day I die, until the day I die
