Rotating the Workers Strikes Makes for Great Victory.
03.12.2011 07:50
When the Unions Inspiration through the Workers Blood shall run
There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the Sun.
Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one
But the Union makes us strong.
G -- -- -- / c -- G -- / -- -- -- Em / C D G -- : //
Solidarity Forever, solidarity forever
Solidarity forever,For the Union makes us strong.
It is we who ploughed the prairies, built the cities where they trade,
dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of Railway laid,
Now we stand out cast and starving midst the wonders we have made,
But the union makes us strong.
Solidarity forever, Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever, for the Union makes us strong.
They have taken untold millions that they never toiled to earn,
But without our blood and muscle not a single wheel could turn
We can break their haughty power, gain our freedom when we learn,
That the Union makes us strong.
Solidarity Forever, Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever, for the Union makes us strong.
In our hands is placed a power greater than their hoarded gold,
Greater than the might of armies magnified a thousand--fold;
We can bring to earth a new world from the ashes of the old,
For the Union makes us strong.
Solidarity Forever, Solidarity forever,
Solidarity forever, for the Union makes us strong.
Sung to the tune of John Browns Body.
The workers kept the tune but added new words, because after the civil war the Bluecoats, were called out to crush the workers when they were striking for workers Unions, and the recognition of them. The president then ordered the soldiers to shoot the workers on the picket lines, and large numbers were killed. Solidarity Forever was born on such unity and struggles. Workers of the World, Unite!! You have a world to win.
Union Jack
That video claims millions went on strike in reality on 1.3 million did!
