lyrics

I've done work on the coal trains
when the industry changed
and the factory changed.
When shitted on all of the union boards
from Company C.

It isn't right, Jack, how could it be like that?
Gotta part to play, you better play it.
Something to say, you better say it.
And it just seems crazy to me
that the company could become for them
something like a machine.

I've been on call for thirty years,
with motors running in my ears.
And never once did I dream
of anything more.
And Theresa and Jesus and all the little quiet girls
come caroling at Christmas time,
well tell me what's my crime
if I believe in woman and man
together we can,
united we stand.
And I'll be damned if I sing it alone
so take my hand we're going home.

Why am i so impressed
by all of their bullshit
time and again?
Every season of plastic
that passes and leaves
that sounds mournful then trash
then the last one.
I'm taking my name off the program,
I'm taking my blood from the wall.
Don't call me company ...

Believe in woman and man
together we can,
united we stand.
And I'll be damned if I sing it alone
so take my hand we're going home.
