Union Town
View ArtistLyrics
[Verse 1] Good memories are forever Said the dog on the tombstone If you're livin' underneath a bridge, man All roads lead to home I gotta hidden flask, I'm paid in cash Gotta cross above my bed You know, I hitchhiked from Chicago And a man walked up and said [Chorus] This is a union town, a union town All down the line This is a union town, a union town All down the line And if you come to strip our rights away We'll give you hell every time This is a union town, a union town All down the line [Verse 2] Today the policeman's a union man Brother firefighter's my friend And the kids locked in the Capitol Are fighting till the end And we're not gonna break tonight And we're not gonna bend Some say the union's down, but I asked around And everybody said [Chorus] This is a union town, a union town All down the line This is a union town, a union town All down the line And if they come to strip our rights away We'll give 'em hell every time This is a union town, a union town All down the line [Verse 3] For every action, a reaction Equal and opposite That's why, my friend, the blood tastes good Every time I'm hit I gotta will to win and a Cheshire grin Yeah, the Nightwatchman is near And you can't get it where you're at But you can sure get it here [Bridge] So come rain or sleet or dark of night Come wind or frigid snow There's 100,000 in the street And that number's gonna grow And when we put the governor on trial I'll be in the front row Just take a look around, we're a union town One, two, three, four, let's go! [Chorus] This is a union town, a union town All down the line This is a union town, a union town All down the line And if you come to strip our rights away We'll give you hell every time This is a union town, a union town All down the line All down the line
