We been taking a lot of it from the bosses and unions Backs against the wall who can quit Near our daughter's communion Formed a local to help us out, put us out is more like it Time to show them no idle mouth We don't like it - we strike it Ma**es on our way - stick together now Lead piper - breakin' heads If we sit back and let them ride Then we'll be dead tomorrow 'Cause the longer we let 'em slide
Means the deeper we borrow Want to end up like that old man Eating dog food for dinner Was a union man 40 years Freeze his a** off in winter Ma**es on our way - stick together now Lead piper - breakin' heads Up the local unions Up the bosses too Scratching each others back and laughing At you Ma**es on our way - stick together now Lead piper - breakin' heads
