we the shipright & the dockers here we stand
and behind us every worker hand in hand
we'll get independent UNIОNs that are free from polyminions
when we win we'll build a free & happy land
 [bad word]  dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, [bad word] strike carry on
though they cling to their fiction & they want our [bad word] we shall stand every pain 'till we are done

all our women & our children stand w/ us
and we'll [bad word] tanks, starvation, tear gas
we'll get independent UNIОNs that are free from polyminions
nothing will deter the polish working class

wired camps, crooked courts, prison cells
swolen faces, broken bones, & bloody heads
we'll get independent UNIОNs that are free from polyminions
they can kill us & we'll never, never be quelled

those who have & have-not are apart
but don't explain because you would not know where to start
face realities my brother only we can help each other
join w/ us & we shall give you some heart

dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, [bad word] strike carry on
many of those of us who are lucky to be free
will not speak, will not hear, they will not see
they would help after a fashion
but are scarred of repercussions
we'll fight all alone as long as it need be

dear god, dear god, dear god
let this strike, [bad word] strike carry on(fade)
