'Cause that union man's
And bring you home some wine
Standing in that line
She always said that it would never ever work out
He's the man who decides
Then he walks right past and I know
Then he walks up to me
Got such a hold over me
Now I think of what my mama told me
But all I want to do is make some money
'Cause when I see that union man
Walking down the street
Then he walks up to me
He's the man who decides
Standing at the corner waiting
If I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
If I live or I die, if I starve or I eat
But I don't ever want you to see me
And the sun begins to shine
That I've got to get back in the line
And the sun begins to shine
Watching time go by
Get back, get back
Or shall I bide my time
That I've got to get back in the line
Will I go to work today
Then he walks right past and I know
