CHORUS (after every verse): Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Which side are you on? Come all you good workers! Good news to you I’ll tell Of how the good old union Has come in here to dwell We fought a million battles To defend our hard-won rights We're going to have to fight again I ask you here tonight Come all you good people You women and you men Once more our backs are to the wall We're being attacked again The MPs and the bosses Won’t work for average pay But they’d put us all on work fare And strip real jobs away Cuts in public service Won’t affect the likes of them Before it starts we need to fight And then we’ll fight again It’s time for a decision, And you really have to choose Defend the workers’ struggle, Or the next in line is you. We need to fight the fascists For hatred’s what they breed We’re black, we’re white, we’re gay we’re straight We’ll smash their racist creed. Last Verse Don’t listen to the Tories Don’t listen to their lies Us working folk ain’t got a chance Unless we organise Optional verses I may be a student But I still know what’s right I'm starting now I'm fighting back Before the Tories bite My dad’s a civil servant And I'm my father’s daughter I'm sticking with the union Through hell or high water I'm an old age pensioner I’ve worked hard day and night And if you stop my winter fuel Get ready for a fight.
