Union by trade, United by choice
States minimum wages waver with a continued lack of respect
pay is made minimal as they continue stacking the debt
Government officials say they’ll save us, but here’s the catch
Political lack of vision contrives more laws of near sightedness
Like they’ve forgotten how long and hard this fight has been
They wish to break ranks and make slaves of divided men
Passing laws that rob a man of his worth
Revoke his rights, put it in writing then call it “Right to work”
It’s little more than a kill order of our nation’s labor relations
This proposed assassination of our united association
This sharp pointed, short sighted, one sided point of view is far from new
This war has been fought for years
The battle lines lined in picket signs written in our forefather’s blood, sweat and tears
Beyond the flesh and fluid united hands move in a fluid movement
As one, righteously united, we call it Union
Brothers and sisters scream out against the grinding gears of the machine
Their fight takes flight igniting the American dream, united in one scream, one voice
Union by trade, united by choice
