May Day (Union Song)

My generation doesn't talk about unions

All of our contracts stay independent

Well, it's a strange time to be alive, to be certain

You treat me like a friend

I ask you for benefits

It was on May Day

A day about unions

I thought of our own precious union

And I thought of our own precious union

In a fit of inspiration

I stumbled to Union Pool

To ask if our membership dues

Go to SEIU

That's where I saw you

I said, let's take a walk through the park after dark

I was born here in Brooklyn, my back yard's McKibben

So who are we kidding?

It was on May Day

A day about unions

I thought of our own precious union

And I thought of our own precious union

Liam, it's a labor of love with you

For the greater good, a selfless love

All the things that I do

Yeah well Liam, what I wouldn't give

To pick up picket signs with you

Well it's only time

Til we're front lines, making headlines

Making our own precious union

Making our own precious union

Oooooh...

(Now you try that out!)

For the blessed union

For the state of our union

The most precious of unions
