The Union

Intro: Verse When we were kids, We'd throw rocks at cars, And smoke our mother's cigarettes, After dark, in the park, And I remember picking butts up off the Dirty ground. Smoking them just the same as Ma's When we ran out. And I ripped my heart from beneath my rib, And I lie there bleeding out in my hands. And I'd give a piece to each of my friends, Just to know they understand That I'd never join the union, 'Cause I never wanted it easy. No, I'd never join the union, 'Cause I'd never wanted it easy. Verse There's a pretty little city tower, In Alberta to see, And the little yellow house, Falling down on English Street. There's a few good men who know who I am, And who I am not. And I ripped my heart from beneath my rib, And I lie there bleeding out in my hands. And I'd give a piece to you my friend, Just to know you understand That I'd never join the union, 'Cause I never wanted it easy. Hell, I'd never join the union, 'Cause I'd never wanted it easy. Oh, oh, oh, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Instrumental Bridge Now I know why, Your daddy doesn't like me. Can't change it, I am a dirty, Rock 'n' Roller baby. Now I know why, Your daddy doesn't like me. Can't change it, I am a dirty, Rock 'n' Roller baby. That I'd never join the union, 'Cause I never wanted it easy. Hell, I'd never join the union, 'Cause I'd never wanted it easy. That I'd never, No, I'd never, No, I'd never join, That I'd never, No, I'd never, No, I'd never join, That I'd never join the union, 'Cause I never wanted it easy. Hey!
