They'll Never Keep Us Down

United we stand, divided we fall For every dime they give us a battle must be fought So working people use your power the key to liberty Don't support the rich man's style of luxury There ain't no way they can ever keep us down There ain't no way they can ever keep us down We won't be bought, we won't be sold To be treated right, well that's our goal There ain't no way they can ever keep us down We've been shot, we've been jailed, lord its a sin Women and children stood right by the men We've got a union contract that keeps the worker free They'll never shoot that union out of me They'll never shoot that union out of me, oh no They'll never shoot that union out of me Got a contract in our hand signed by the blood of honest Men They'll never shoot that union out of me The power wheel is rolling, rolling right along The government is keep it going going strong So working people get your help from your own kind Your welfare on the rich man's mind Your welfare on the rich man's mind Your welfare on the rich man's mind They want the power in their hands Just to keep out of the workers hands Your welfare on the rich man's mind They'll never, never, never keep us down They'll never, never, never keep us down The cheat, rob and kill but we'll stop that big wheel They'll never, never, never keep us down
