Union Blood Songtext
von Rancid

Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You′re gonna hit the cold concrete

Ok, let's go

Yeah, bloody Thursday was July 6th, the pigs killed three workers
Harry Bridges grabbed the mic

The city shut down July 6th
The workers, outraged, brigaded a general strike
The media claimed the commies were taking over
Scapegoats wrote that some of it′s true
Three uncompromising strikes paved the way
For the avenues, SF, and Toledo

Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You're gonna hit the cold concrete
Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You're gonna hit the cold concrete


Poor man′s pay, rich man′s gain
On the way to the bank, considered escape
Begged for his pay, good hard day's work
Kid didn′t have him in a corporate book

Put 'em at bay, rich man′s gain
Low end job with a dead end escape
Begged for his pay, hard day's work
Kid′s no better than his lumping buddy

Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You're gonna hit the cold concrete
Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You're gonna hit the cold concrete

Yeah, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up
Yeah

Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You′re gonna hit the cold concrete
Blood on the situation
Blood on the street sometimes
You′re gonna hit the cold concrete
