Katie Bar The Door Lyrics - Street Dogs

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 f**kin' 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
