United we stand, delighted we fall, for every dime they give us a battle must be fought.The working people use your power, the key to liberty, don't support that rich man's style of luxury.There ain't no way they can ever keep us down, oh no, ain't no way they can ever keep us down.We won't be bought, we won't be sold, if you treat it right we'll let sir go, and there ain't no way they can ever keep us down.We've been shot and we've been jailed, Lord, it's a sin.Women and little children stood right by the men.But we got that union contract that keeps the workers free, and they'll never shoot that union out of me.And they'll never shoot that union out of me, oh no, never shoot that union out of me.Got a contract in our hands signed by the blood of honest men, and they'll never shoot that union out of me.MusicWell the power wheel is rolling, rolling right along, and the government helps keep it going, going strong.So working people get your help from your own kind, your welfare ain't on that rich man's mind.Your welfare ain't on that rich man's mind, oh no, your welfare ain't on that rich man's mind.They want the power in their hands just to keep down the worker, and your welfare ain't on that rich man's mind.And they'll never, never, never keep us down, oh no, never, never, never keep us down.They can cheat, lie, frame, or steal, but we'll stop that big wheel, and they'll never, never, never keep us down.
