Solidarity
by Angelic Upstarts
We the shiprights and the dockers here we stand
and behind us every worker hand in hand
we'll get independent unions that are free from polyminions
when we win we'll build a free and happy land
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
though they cling to their fiction and they want our crucifixion
we shall stand every pain until we are done
all our women and our children stand with us
and we'll stand come tanks, starvation, tear gas
we'll get independent unions that are free from polyminions
nothing will deter the polish working class
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
though they cling to their fiction & they want our crucifixion
we shall stand every pain 'til we are done
wired camps, crooked courts, prison cells
swolen faces, broken bones, and bloody heads
we'll get independent unions that are free from polyminions
they can kill us and we'll never, never be quelled
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
though they cling to their fiction & they want our crucifixion
we shall stand every pain until we are done
those who have and have-not are apart
but don't explain because you would not know where to start
face realities my brother only we can help each other
join with us and we shall give you some heart
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
though they cling to their fiction and they want our crucifixion
we shall stand every pain until we are done
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
many of those of us who are lucky to be free
will not speak, will not hear, they will not see
they would help after a fashion but are scarred of repercussions
we'll fight all alone as long as it need be
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
though they cling to their fiction and they want our crucifixion
we shall stand every pain until we are done
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, cruel strike carry on
