lyrics

Walked down to the docks and saw containers coming in
Laborers unload the bread within
Nineteen thirty four it was the West Coast Longshore Strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song

Looking overhead I see an airplane flying by
Needs someone to navigate the sky
Nineteen eighty one the air traffic controllers strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song

Walked up on a mountain saw the miners hauling coal
Abandoned soon as they don't have a role
Nineteeeen oh two it was the anthracite coal strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song

Riding down the highway saw the truckers driving past
Get things to their destination fast
Nineteen thirty four the Minneapolis general strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song

Walking through the city I see the workers serving food
Satiate all culinary moods
Two thousand fifteen it was the Fight for Fifteen strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song

Walking through the streets I see the trucks and vans and cars
Workers had to assemble the parts
Nineteen thirty six it was the GM sit-down strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song

Riding on the railway see a track being restored
The conductor shouting all aboard
Nineteen twenty two it kicked off the Great Railroad Strike
Now today we're keeping up the fight
We'll keep up the fight although the battle may be long
And we're gonna sing the union song
