[mpt] There Is Power in a Union



There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hands of a worker
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
There is power in a Union

Now the lessons of the past were all learned with workers' blood
The mistakes of the bosses we must pay for
From the cities and the farmlands to trenches full of mud
War has always been the bosses' way, sir

The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union

Now I long for the morning that they realise
Brutality and unjust laws can not defeat us
But who'll defend the workers who cannot organise
When the bosses send their lackies out to cheat us?

Money speaks for money, the Devil for his own
Who comes to speak for the skin and the bone
What a comfort to the widow, a light to the child
There is power in a Union

The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters together we will stand
There is power in a Union.

[book purge] ...and that's that! Thanks everyone!

The 2011 Book Purge is officially over...thanks to everyone who requested titles! It's going to be a bit of a busy weekend for me here, so it may be a short while before I mail everything out, and I need to get a few small boxes or padded envelopes for those who just grabbed a few titles. I will let you all know when they're on their way.

I believe [livejournal.com profile] madhatte is the only person I don't have an address for, so if you can send it my way (joncwriter (at) yahoo (dot) com is totally fine), I would be quite happy.


Thanks again!! :)
