There Is Power In A Union Lyrics - Street Dogs

(Originally by Billy Bragg) 

There is power in a democracy, 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 a 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 to the farmlands in the trenches full of mud 

'cause war has always been the bosses' way sir

The Union forever defending our rights 

Let's fight the Right Wing, all workers unite 

With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands 

There is power in a Union 

Now I long for the time that they realize 

Brutality and unjust laws cannot defeat us 

But who'll defend the workers who cannot organize 

When the GOP send their attorneys out to cheat us? 

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own 

Who'll come speak for the skin and the bone? 

What a comfort to widow, a light for the child 

There is power in a Union

The Union forever defending our rights 

Let's fight the Right Wing, all workers unite 

With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands 

There is power in a Union 

With social justice and equality 

For every man and woman who wants it 

There is power in a Union
