[Verse 1]

We been taking a lot of it

From the bosses and unions

Backs against the wall who can quit

Near our daughter's communion

Formed a local to help us out

Put us out is more like it

Time to show them no idle mouth

We don't like it - we strike it

[Chorus]

Masses on our way - stick together now

Lead pipes - breakin' heads

[Verse 2]

If we sit back and let 'em ride

Then we'll be dead tomorrow

'Cause the longer we let 'em slide

Means the deeper we borrow

Want to end up like that old man

Eating dog food for dinner

Was a union man 40 years

Freeze his ass off in winter

[Chorus]

Masses on our way - stick together now

Lead pipes - breakin' heads

[Bridge]

Up the local unions

Up the bosses too

Scratching each others back and laughing

At you

[Chorus]

Masses on our way - stick together now

Masses on our way - stick together now

Masses on our way - breakin' heads
