SONGS
Solidarity forever /1915
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the union makes us strong
We shall overcome / Pete Seeger / 1963
We shall overcome
We shall overcome
We shall overcome, some day
Union Maid / 1941
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
9 to 5 / Dolly Parton / 1980
Workin' 9 to 5, what a way to make a livin'
Barely gettin' by, it's all takin' and no givin'
They just use your mind and you never get the credit
It's enough to drive you crazy if you let it
This Land is Your Land / 1951
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the California to the New York island
From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
Internationale - American / 1900
Arise ye prisners of starvation
Arise ye wretched of the earth
For justice thunders condemnation
A better worlds in birth!
Bread and roses / 1988
As we go marching, marching, we bring the greater days,
The rising of the women means the rising of the race.
No more the drudge and idler, ten that toil where one reposes,
But a sharing of life's glories, bread and roses, bread and roses.
There Is Power In A Union /1913
There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hand of the worker
But it all amounts to nothing
If together we don't stand
There is power in a Union
Not Ready to Make Nice / Dixie Chicks / 2006
I'm not ready to make nice
I'm not ready to back down
I'm still mad as hell, and I don't have time
To go 'round and 'round and 'round
It's too late to make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
'Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
Running with the Wild things / Against the Current / 2016
We got too big for the cage, you locked us up in
Let's mark this down as the day, that we started something
So open the gate, open the gate cause when we
Finally escape, finally escape we'll be
Tearing through the streets
Running with the wild things
Aint done nothing if you ain't been called a red / 1984
Well you ain't done nothin' if you ain't been called a red
if you've marched or agitated, you're bound to hear it said
so you might as well ignore it, or love the word instead
cause you ain't been doin' nothin' if you ain't been called a red
Worker's Song /1981
We're the first ones to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie-in-the-sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the worker is working when the fat cat's about
Bella Ciao / 1906
Una mattina mi sono svegliato,
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
Una mattina mi sono svegliato,
e ho trovato l'invasor.
O partigiano, portami via,
o bella, ciao! bella, ciao! bella, ciao, ciao, ciao!
O partigiano, portami via,
ch mi sento di morir.
I'll Dance On Your Grave Mrs Thatcher / 2013
And we'll dance
Yes we'll dance
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher
We'll dance
Yes, we'll dance
We'll dance on your grave Mrs. Thatcher
