I am the union man
It courses through me
By blood I am the union man
My Grandfather fought in the Great War
He came back from France and joined
The Industrial Workers of the World
He was a union man
He was a Wobblie
He was fucked up
And he built Longview
I am the union man
It courses through me
By blood I am the union man
My Dad was a union man
He fought the cold war at home
In the radiation fields of Hanford
He was a union man
He fought the cold war
And he got the
Cancer fuck
I am the union man
It courses through me
It glows within me
You better deal with me
I am the union man
