LYRICS
When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run
There can be no power greater 'neath the stars or 'neath the sun
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one?
But the Union makes us strong
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the Union makes us strong
Is there aught we hold in common with the greedy parasite
Who would lash us into serfdom and would crush us with his might?
Is there anything left to us but to organize and fight?
For the union makes us strong
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the Union makes us strong
All the world that's owned by idle drones is ours and ours alone
We have laid the wide foundations, built it skyward stone by stone
It is ours, not to toil in, but to master and to own
For the union makes us strong (yeah!)
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the Union makes us strong
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn
But without our brain and muscle not a single wheel can turn
We can break their haughty power gain our freedom when we learn
That the Union makes us strong
Solidarity forever
Oh, solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the Union makes us strong
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold
Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand fold
We can bring to birth a new world from the ashes of the old
For the Union makes us strong
Oh, solidarity forever
Yeah, solidarity forever
Solidarity forever
For the Union makes us strong
Everybody!
Solidarity forever
Yeah, solidarity forever
Oh, solidarity forever
For the Union makes us strong
Yeah, man
(It's a saxophone song!)
It's a saxophone song
There has to be some local sax makers' union someplace, y'know
Solidarity with the sax makers, man
Ah, that was really fun, uhm
This, uh, this song isn't any fun at all
I mean, it's fun for me to play, I enjoy playing it
But it's a very hideous song about a couple who aren't
This will shock you to hear, a couple who aren't getting along very well
They once did and now they don't
And uhm, and rather than try to fix it, they're fixating on it
A simple three letters that would make a big difference in their lives
If they just chop the '-ate' of off 'fixate' and fix something
But they're not gonna do that, because I invented them, and I'm not going to allow them
I'm just going to torture them like a horrible person tearing the wings off of flies
This is called, "Soft Targets"
