We been taking a lot of it
from the bosses and unions
Backs against the wall who can quit
Near our daughter's communion
Formed a local to help us out,
put us out is more like it
Time to show them no idle mouth
We don't like it - we strike it
Masses on our way - stick together now
Lead piper - breakin' heads
If we sit back and let them ride
Then we'll be dead tomorrow
'Cause the longer we let 'em slide
Means the deeper we borrow
Want to end up like that old man
Eating dog food for dinner
Was a union man 40 years
Freeze his ass off in winter
Masses on our way - stick together now
Lead piper - breakin' heads
Up the local unions
Up the bosses too
Scratching each others back and laughing
At you
Masses on our way - stick together now
Lead piper - breakin' heads
