Which Side Are You On Lyrics

This government had an idea And parliament made it law It seems like it's illegal To fight for the union any more Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on We went out to join the picket line For together we cannot fail We got stopped by police at the county line They said, "Go home boys or you're going to jail" Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on It's hard to explain to a crying child Why her Daddy can't go back So the family suffer But it hurts me more To hear a scab say Sod you, Jack Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on I'm bound to follow my conscience And do whatever I can But it'll take much more than the union law To knock the fight out of a working man Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on Which side are you on, boys Which side are you on
