Thieves grow rich and liars prosper,
Milking profit's sacred cow.
They make war to make their money,
How we need our unions now.

Chorus:
Join your union (2x)
Friends, we need our unions now (2x)
 
One day’s pay for three days’ labour,
Bosses' powers enshrined in law.
When our rights are torn and trampled,
How we need our unions more.
(chorus)

Quiet words did not avail us,
Patience only earned defeat,
Unity's our only answer,
Join your unions on the street.
(chorus)
 
Shake the souls of union leaders,
Shout the message clear and plain
Leave your desks, desert the boardroom
Fight the workers’ cause again
(chorus)

Stand with us and swell the numbers,
We are the majority.
Sing in chorus, raise the banners,
Union is victory.
(chorus)
