We Got the Power

Yeah, we got the power, let's do it tonight! (The power, tonight)

We got a cause and we know that it's right. (A cause to fight)

Yeah, we got the numbers, let's do it tonight! (The numbers, alright!)

Yeah, we got the power, got the power tonight!

We got the power tonight!

19 men were tried and fired, August 26th through 29th

For violation of rule 35

The forbidden right to organize

They suffered the loss of their livelihood that night

That night!

A city in terror on the thin blue line

A thousand-plus walked off the job to support their brothers' cause

The anti-union prohibition clause

Demanded loyalty at any price

On the thin blue line
