We are the CFMEU

A Song by Lita Gillies@Lita Gillies 2007

- [play]

We are the CFMEU
We're union through and through
Brothers and sisters this is our call to arms
We're not scared of a fight
if provoked you know we'll strike
We are the one and only CFMEU

We led the way for worker's rights
cause what we've got is workers' might
We dare to struggle which is why we always win
We feed the hungry and help the poor
The rights we won, we won for all
We won't stop fighting and we will never give in

We are the CFMEU
We're union through and through
Brothers and sisters this is our call to arms
We're not scared of a fight
if provoked you know we'll strike
We are the one and only CFMEU

We've got the proudest history
of working people's victory
We won all despite big business opposition
United we stand, divided we fall
It's in for one and in for all
We'll never bow to conservative politicians

We are the CFMEU
We're union through and through
Brothers and sisters this is our call to arms
We're not scared of a fight
if provoked you know we'll strike
We are the one and only CFMEU

We built the cities nationwide
We even work the country side
We're proud of everything we do
Cause we're the CFMEU
We've fought for everything we got
They tried to break us, we never forgot
But we're not scared to fight a blue
Cause we're the CFMEU

We are the CFMEU
We're union through and through
Brothers and sisters this is our call to arms
We're not scared of a fight
if provoked you know we'll strike
We are the one and only CFMEU

Dare to struggle
Dare to win
Dare to struggle
Dare to win
Dare to struggle
Dare to win
Dare to struggle
Dare to win

We are the CFMEU
We're union through and through
Brothers and sisters this is our call to arms
We're not scared of a fight
if provoked you know we'll strike

We are the one and only CFMEU
