The once steel tough fabric of a union man was sold and bartered away

Fed to money wolves in the reagen years,

Caught in a drift in greedy nintetie's days so inside this song is our rally cry.

Your dreams are in danger, and "we must rise"

Our time has come we are under the gun "It's do or die".

It's not a rebel cry of some socialist scheme to push for human rights

Just the facts an obvious mentioned on the behalf of the working man,

For his family and his livelihood.

Your dreams are in danger, and "we must rise"

Our time has come we are under the gun "It's do or die".

The once steel tough fabric of the union man was sold and bartered away

Fed to money wolves in the reagen years,

Caught adrift in greedy nineties days.

Your dreams are in danger, and "we must rise"

Our time has come we are under the gun "It's do or die".
