Born a poor worker's son  Taught to fight for all his rights  Life for him's just begun  Union might is the leading light   It's a shame and it's a sin  They don't know the mood they're in  Until they strike for what is right  Not what has been     Shop floor, that's where he's at  Back to back, bring out the rack  Squeeze them 'til they retract  Wield the gun, see how they run     It's a shame and it's a sin  They don't know the mood they're in  Until they strike for what is right  Not what has been     All out for freedom, all out for more  Show them we mean it, tell them the score  Brother for brother, that's what we're for  Don't give us your reasons  Our reason has gone out the door     Born a poor worker's son  Taught to fight for all his rights  Life for him's just begun  Union might is the leading light     It's a shame and it's a sin  They don't know the mood they're in  Until they strike for what is right  Not what has been    these lyrics are submitted by burkul
