Lyrics
union man
I work hard, each and every day
you can damn sure bet that i earn my pay
everything i make is better than japan
just check my card
i'm a union man
chorus
i am a union man
and i work, yes i work, with my hands
dont talk to me about the minimum wage
because i want fair pay and i'm proud to say
i am a union man
those dirty crooks over in DC
they took our good jobs and sent them overseas
their day will come and they'll understand
when they have to face
a union man
repeat chorus
bridge
its time that we set the record straight
we helped to make this country great
i am a union man
tag
oh yes i am
a union man
