Peggy Seeger - If You Want A Better Life lyrics

If You Want a Better Life, you gotta make a change And if you want to make a change, you'll need a union too And if you want a union, you've got to learn to fight 'Cause when you've got a union, you've got to make it fight for you Sittin' in the boardroom, head in your hands Got to talk to someone, yes, you need a friend Trouble at the factory, Trouble on the line Tell it to the union, it's the best friend you can find If You Want a Better Life, you gotta make a change And if you want to make a change, you'll need a union too And if you want a union, you've got to learn to fight 'Cause when you've got a union, you've got to make it fight for you Sittin' in the canteen, when you're shift is done Trouble in your life now, yes, you need someone Changin' regulations, trouble on the ward Take it to the union, it's what you got that union for If You Want a Better Life, you gotta make a change And if you want to make a change, you'll need a union too And if you want a union, you've got to learn to fight 'Cause when you've got a union, you've got to make it fight for you Do we stand the night in, do we divide and fall Is it one for one now, or is it all for all So put the screws on, that trouble spot And use the union, the most useful tool we've got If You Want a Better Life, you gotta make a change And if you want to make a change, You'll need a union too And if you want a union, you've got to learn to fight 'Cause when you've got a union, you've got to make it fight for you Better wages and conditions, is that all we need? What about the food we eat? And the air we breath? If you want you're union, to make a better life You better make your union, help to keep this world alive If You Want a Better Life, you gotta make a change And if you want to make a change, you'll need a union too And if you want a union, you've got to learn to fight 'Cause when you've got a union, you've got to make it fight for you
