Like Bob said the times are a changing   Unfortunately for us bossman's rearranging   Doesn't care about the wife and kids   But only the gold that is his   Won't hear eleventh hour underbids   Or part with the assets that he thinks are his   Only goes by the manual   To get his increase and human pride      Not even aware that his moral code has died      Unions and the law... What's wrong with being treated fairly   Unions and the law... We've got to defend ourselves somehow      Society's a much faster place now   Seems like standing up lost out somehow   Another composer once said   I can't stand up for falling down   Got to rise up and be accounted for   Maybe that sentiment will arrive   Back in town but only time   Itself will reveal that concept      In ending this rant we'll be idealistic      [Chorus]   Unions and the law... What's wrong with being treated fairly   Unions and the law... We've got to defend ourselves somehow   Unions and the law... What’s wrong with being treated fairly   Unions and the law... We've got to defend ourselves somehow      Like Bob said the times are a changing   Unfortunately for us bossman's rearranging   Doesn't care about your wife and kids   But only the gold that is his
