The Union

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'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. 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 rip my heart from beneath my rib, And I lie there bleeding out in my hands. And I 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 never wanted it easy. Oh, oh, oh, oh Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey Now I know why, Your daddy deosn't like me. Can't change it, I am a dirty, Rock 'n' Roller baby. Now I know why, Your daddy deosn't like me. I can't change it, I am a dirty, Rock 'n' Roller. And I'd never join the union, 'Cause I never wanted it easy. Hell, I'd never join the union, 'Cause I 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!
