This government had an idea |
|
And parliament made it law |
|
It seems like it's illegal |
|
To fight for the union anymore |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
We set out to join the picket line |
|
For together we cannot fail |
|
We got stopped by police at the county line |
|
They said, |
|
"Go home boys or you're going to jail" |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
It's hard to explain to a crying child |
|
Why her Daddy can't go back |
|
So the family suffer but it hurts me more |
|
To hear a scab say, |
|
"Sod you, Jack" |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
I'm bound to follow my conscience |
|
And do whatever I can |
|
But it'll take much more than the union law |
|
To knock the fight out of a working man |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
|
Which side are you on, boys? |
|
Which side are you on? |
