The Union - The Glorious Sons

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 ribs

And lay there bleeding out in my hands

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 towering over the sea

And the little yellow house

Falling down on Inglis 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 doesn’t like me

Can’t change it

I am a dirty, Rock 'n' Roller baby

Now I know why

Your daddy doesn’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!
