Word came down and it crashed through my door
Bm A E7
From the twenty-first floor
Bm A E7
I was thinking about leaving early for lunch
Bm A E7
When he told me to shut off my press
Bm A E7
His face turned green and his white shirt was wet
Bm A E7
Like he'd just seen an acci dent
Bm A E7
We threw our masks into a pile
Bm A E7
The trucks pulled away for good

A bus pulled in, and I waved at it
Bm A E7
Before I knew what it was
Bm A E7
We ran in its tracks, chasing its tires
Bm A E7
But the gates had been riveted shut
Bm A E7
I looked for the foreman: His number was empty
Bm A E7
Up to Red Deer to stay
Bm A E7
We gathered some signs and we sparked up a fire
Bm A E7
Gordie got burned on the high-voltage wire

The first thing she'll ask me is: "How did it go to day?"
And I'll tell her

I thought there was strength in a union
Bm A E7
I thought there was strength in a mob
Bm A E7
I thought the company was bluffing
Bm A E7
When they threatened to chop us off
Bm A E7
Ah, these guns will wilt, the winter will seize
Bm A E7
And all the bonfires will go out
Bm A E7
The company knows when they can afford to be bold
Bm A E7
I wish I could, I wish I could, I wish I could
