    [Verse 1]
    If you’re selling your soul, working all day
    Overtime hours for bullshit pay
    Well, nothing’s gonna change if all you do
    Is wish you could wake up and it not be true

    [Chorus 1]
    Join a union
    Fight for better pay
    You better join a union, brother
    Organise today
    You’ll see where the problem really lies
    When the union comes around
    Rich men earning north of a million
    Wanna keep the working folk down
    Wanna keep the working folk down

    [Verse 2]
    If you form a union, you’ll soon find
    That working people are all of one kind
    So we ain’t gonna punch down on those who need
    A bit of understanding and some solidarity
    That ain’t right friend

    [Verse 3]
    If you’re struggling with your health and you’re putting on the pounds
    Doctor gives you opiates to help you get around
    Well, wouldn’t it be better for folks like you and me
    If medicine was subsidised and healthcare was free?

    [Chorus 2]
    Join a union
    Fight for better pay
    Come on and join a union, sister
    Organise today
    It comes down to the selfsame thing
    If you’re black or white or brown
    Rich men earning north of a million
    Wanna keep the working folk down
    Wanna keep the working folk down

    [Verse 4]
    Well, we know your culture wars are there to distract
    While libertarian billionaires avoid paying tax
    You wanna talk about bathrooms while the floodwaters rise
    The forest is on fire and the wind burns our eyes, ah!
    Something’s wrong here

    [Verse 5]
    Well, they wanna divide us because together we’re strong
    Are you gonna take action now you sung your damn song?
    If you don’t like the rich men having total control
    You better get the union to roll

    [Chorus 3]
    Join a union
    Fight for better pay
    Come on and join a union
    Organise today
    Don’t matter if you live in the city
    Or some little country town
    Rich men earning north of a million
    Rich men earning north of a million
    I say, rich men earning north of a million
    Wanna keep the working folk down
    Wanna keep the working folk down

    [Outro]
    If you’re selling your soul and you’re working all day
    Overtime hours for bullshit pay
    Join a union
