A                        D       
This is a song about the union, friends 
A                                D 
How they fucked you over and the way they bends 
A                           D 
The rules to suit a special few 
A                              D 
And you gets pooched every time they do 

A                            D 
You know we gotta stick together 
A                            D 
You know we gotta stick together 
A                            D 
You know we gotta stick together 
A                            D 
You know we gotta stick together 

Once upon a time the idea was good 
If only they'd a done what the said they would 
It ain't no better they's makin' it worse 
The labor movement's got the Mafia curse 

You know we gotta stick together 
You know we gotta stick together 
You know we gotta stick together 
You know we gotta stick together 

Don't be no fool, don't be no dope 
Common sense is your only hope 
When the union tells you it's time to strike 
Tell the motherfucker to take a hike 

You know we gotta stick together 
You know we gotta stick together 
You know we gotta stick together 
You know we gotta stick together 

(repeats)
