There is power in a factory, power in the land
Power in the hands of a worker
But it all amounts to nothing if together we don't stand
There is power in a Union
The Union forever defending our rights
Down with the blackleg, all workers unite
With our brothers and our sisters from many far off lands
There is power in a Union
(Billy Bragg)
Canciones sobre la huelga y la lucha. Canciones sobre el trabajo esclavo y los accidentes laborales. Sobre la explotación de los jóvenes y las mujeres. Sobre la solidaridad y la unidad. Sobre combatir por los derechos, sobre los sindicatos y una de sus más odiosas enemigas (Margaret Thatcher), sobre los esquiroles y sobre el sindicalismo futuro.
They offered me the office, offered me the shop
They said I'd better take anything they'd got
Do you wanna make tea at the BBC?
Do you wanna be, do you really wanna be a cop?
Career opportunities are the ones that never knock
Every job they offer you is to keep you out the dock
Career opportunity, the ones that never knock
(The Clash)
