Peggy Seeger - If You Want A Better Life текст песни

If You Want a Better Life
You gotta make a change

And if you want to make a change
You'll need a union too

And if you want a union
You've got to learn to fight

'Cause when you've got a union
You've got to make it fight for you

Sittin' in the boardroom
Head in your hands

Got to talk to someone
Yes, you need a friend

Trouble at the factory
Trouble on the line

Tell it to the union
It's the best friend you can find

If You Want a Better Life
You gotta make a change

And if you want to make a change
You'll need a union too

And if you want a union
You've got to learn to fight

'Cause when you've got a union
You've got to make it fight for you

Sittin' in the canteen
When you're shift is done

Trouble in your life now
Yes, you need someone

Changin' regulations
Trouble on the ward

Take it to the union
It's what you got that union for

If You Want a Better Life
You gotta make a change

And if you want to make a change
You'll need a union too

And if you want a union
You've got to learn to fight

'Cause when you've got a union
You've got to make it fight for you

Do we stand the night in
Do we divide and fall

Is it one for one now
Or is it all for all

So put the screws on
That trouble spot

And use the union
The most useful tool we've got

If You Want a Better Life
You gotta make a change

And if you want to make a change
You'll need a union too

And if you want a union
You've got to learn to fight

'Cause when you've got a union
You've got to make it fight for you

Better wages and conditions
Is that all we need?

What about the food we eat?
And the air we breath?

If you want you're union
To make a better life

You better make your union
Help to keep this world alive

If You Want a Better Life
You gotta make a change

And if you want to make a change
You'll need a union too

And if you want a union
You've got to learn to fight

'Cause when you've got a union
You've got to make it fight for you
