Get Your Union Colours On

A Song by Lita Gillies@Lita Gillies 2007

Things are changing baby
It's time to make a plan
It's time to fight the good fight
It's time to make a stand

You say this won't effect you
But you know it really will
Future generations need protection still

So

Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
We are the people
Enough is enough
We are the peopl
So let's get tough

The Government is not our friend
It hasn't been for years
They lie to get elected
Then control us with our fears

Media tell us what to buy
And now we're all in debt
To scared we'll lose our jobs
To rise up to the threat

But

Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
We are the people
Enough is enough
We are the peopl
So let's get tough

the IR laws baby
will make sure you're a slave
And bosses want to use them
to ensure that you're afraid
No point living on your knees
Rise up and fight the law
Together we're an army
And you know we'll win for sure

So

Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
We are the people
Enough is enough
We are the people
So let's get tough

Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
Get your union colours on
Get your colours on
We are the people
Enough is enough
We are the people
So let's get tough

We are the people
Enough is enough
We are the people
So let's get tough
