|
Five hundred men sacked for refusing |
|
To ever cross a picket line |
|
The voices down the ages warning |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
You must never cross a picket line |
|
Two years gone by but still they never |
|
Ever cross a picket line |
|
With their wives and children they stand together |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
You must never cross a picket line |
|
Look away, look away |
|
Look away out west to San Francisco |
|
Look away, look away |
|
Look away down south to Sydney Harbour |
|
Where the dockers have organized |
|
The world's longest picket line |
|
Technically this is an illegal strike |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
But technically workers have no rights |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
You must never cross a picket line |
|
Oh, I want to live in a Brand New Britain |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
Where workers rights are enshrined and written |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
You must never cross a picket line |
|
Look away, look away |
|
Look away out west to San Diego |
|
Look away, look away |
|
Look away out east to far Osaka |
|
Where the dockers have organized |
|
The world's longest picket line |
|
The Tories are gone but there's no improvement |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
Now where is the might of the labor movement |
|
Never cross a picket line |
|
You must never cross a picket line |
|
Look away, look away |
|
Look away down south to Auckland City |
|
Look away, look away |
|
Look away out west to old Vancouver |
|
Where the dockers have organized |
|
The world's longest picket line |
|
Where the dockers have realized |
|
You must never cross a picket line |
