Talking Union - Pete Seeger

Now if you want higher wages let me tell you what to do

You got to talk to the workers in the shop with you

You got to build you a union got to make it strong

But if you all stick together for I won't be long

You'll get shorter hours

Better working conditions vacations with pay

Take your kids to the seashore

It ain't quite this simple so I better explain

Just why you got to ride on the union train

'Cause if you wait for the boss to raise your pay

We'll all be waiting till judgment day

We'll all he buried gone to heaven

Saint peter'll be the straw boss then

Now you know you're underpaid hut the boss says you ain't

He speeds up the work till you're 'bout to faint

You may he down and out but you ain't beaten

You can pass out a leaflet and call a meetin'

Talk it over speak your mind

Decide to do something about it

'Course the boss may persuade some poor damn fool

To go to your meeting and act like a stool

But you can always tell a stool though that's a fact

He got a yellow streak running down his back

He doesn't have to stool he'll always get long

On what he takes out of blind mens cups

You got a union now you're sitting pretty

Put some of the boys on the steering committee

The boss won't listen when one man squawks

But he's got to listen when the union talks he better

He'll be mighty lonely everybody decided work out on here

Suppose they're working you so hard it's just outrageous

They're paying you all starvation wages

You go to the boss and the boss would yell

Before I'd raise your pay I'd see you all in hell

Well he's puffing a big segar and feeling mighty slick

He thinks he's got your union licked

He looks out the window and what does he see

But a thousand pickets and they all agree

He's a bastard unfair slave driver

Bet he beats his own wife

Now boy you've come to the hardest time

The boss will try to bust your picket line

He'll call out the police the national guard

They'll tell you it's a crime to have a union card

They'll raid your meeting hit you on the head

Thay're call every one of you a goddamn red

Unpatriotic japanese fats

Save the talking national decides

But out in detroit here's what they found

And out in frisco here's what they found

And out in pittsburgh here's what they found

And down in bethlehem here's what they found

That if you don't let red-baiting break you up

And if you don't let stool pigeons break you up

If you don't let vigilantes break you up

And if you don't let race hatred break you up

You'll win what I mean

Take it easy but take it
