Verse 1
D
let me tell you what to do
Em
You got to talk to the workers
in the shop with you
D
Em
Got to build you a uni on,
got to make it strong
D
G
But if you all stick together,
it won't be long
A
Em
You get shorter hours,
G
better working conditions
Yo, take your kids to the seashore,
D
G
man
A
Em
It ain't quite that simple,
so I better explain
Just why you got to ride
on the union train
D
Em
If you wait for the boss to raise your pay
G
You'll all be waiting till Judgment Day
A
Em
You'll all be married
Gone to heaven
Say you're here to be the
D
Em
Now, you know you're underpaid
but the boss says you ain't
Speeds up the work till you're
about to faint
D
Em
D
Maybe down and out, but you ain't beaten
G
You can pass out a leaf
A
Em
and even call a meeting
Talk it over
Speak your mind,
G
Em
decide to do something about it
Of course,
A
G
A
Em
the boss may persuade
some poor damn fool
to go to your meet and act like a stool.
A
Em
You can always tell a stool,
that's a fact.
He's got a yellow streak
Em
He doesn't have to stool.
He'll always get along
on what he takes out of
Em
G
You know that. You know that.
A
Em
G
That's right.
when you're sitting pretty
But some of the folks on the
steering committee
The boss won't listen when
one of you squawks,
Em
when the union talks.
You better be mighty lonely
if everybody decide to
walk out on him.
Suppose they're working
you so hard
it's just outrageous,
G
never paying you nothing but starvation.
Em
go to the boss, the boss will yell,
G
before I raise your pay
I'll see you all in hell.
Em
Where's Puffin the Big Cigar?
He's that mighty slick,
cause he thinks he's got
A
G
Your Union Lick
Em
He looks out the window
What does he see?
But a thousand pickets
And they all agree
He's a bastard
Em
G
Em
Unfair Slave drive
Bet he beats his dog
G
Ha!
Em
Now you've come to the hardest time
G
The boss will try to bust your picket line
The National Guard
Tell you it's a crime
G
Em
They'll have you in your car
The rage of meaning,
they'll hit you on the head
They'll call everyone of you
a goddamn threat
Unpatriotic terrorist
G
A threat to a way of life
A
Em
What?

Out at UPS,
here's what they found.

A
Em
If you don't let clear hatred
break you up.
And if you don't let the racism
break you up.
D
Em
If you don't let homophobia
break you up.
G
And if you don't let the sexism
break you up,
Em
But take it, take it.
Take it, take it, take it, take it.
Take it easy
Take it easy
Take it easy
G
Em
G

Take it easy
