Natalie Merchant - Which Side Are You On? Lyrics
Come all you good workers
Good news to you I'll tell
Of how the good old union
Has come in here to dwell
Which side are you on?
My daddy was a miner
He's now in the air and sun
He'll be with you fellow workers
Until the battle's won
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
There are no neutrals there
You'll either be a union man
Or a thug for J. H. Claire
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Oh workers can you stand it?
Oh tell me how you can
Will you be a lousy scab
Or will you be a man?
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?
Don't scab for the bosses
Don't listen to their lies
Poor folks ain't got a chance
Unless they organize
Which side are you on boys?
Which side are you on?

ΕΜΠΡΌΣ ΛΑΕ ΜΗΝ ΣΚΗΒΕΙΣ ΤΟ ΚΕΦΆΛΙ Ο ΜΌΝΟΣ ΔΡΌΜΟΣ ΕΊΝΑΙ ΑΝΤΊΣΤΑΣΗ ΚΑΙ ΠΆΛΙ!!!
ΖΗΤΏ Η ΕΠΑΝΆΣΤΑΣΗ FROM GREECE FUCK IMPERIALISM!!
why is it that when women do a cover song it always becomes a slowed down folk song?
Proletariat Solidarity Comrades!!!
Okay, that inkblot looks like a sad puppy in the belly of a happy bug flipping everyone off... the rich and lazy consuming the poor and workers?
Or, maybe the inevitable takeover of workers consuming the dogs playing cards. I don't know.
Billy Bragg's version is equally stirring! It's easy to find.
Here because I just like music
https://youtu.be/JwIvn27PgsA
I believe the panopticon band has a more reality-friendly footprint
Everyone unite... it's no longer about workers, it's about the success of the human race... which side are you on?
no more this and that and maybe's and we ll see...FUCK THAT WHICH IDE ARE U ON?
Folks, we need to share the heck out of this song! We are are war. Which side are YOU on?

It's May 1st, 2019. Sisters and brothers unite! Down with robber baron oligarchs!
Incredibly powerful cover rendition.
Solidarity 4ever and May Day greetings to all workers of the world.
με τους ανθρωπους εισαι ή με τους αλλους??
i m with me . i dont pick sides . i pick sights , those which does not block my horizon .
If you are for you then you should automatically be against them who are not for your interests.
There will be no justice for the martyrs of the working class until we tear down this decaying and decrepit capitalist order. And until then, their struggle will continue by our hands.
Addictive song 👍🏻
This is beautiful
Solidarity forever!
To hell with all unions.. workers are communist useful idiots.. employees are the people who work for a living and get paid what they aren't worth.. not lazy union slugs that don't earn a third of there wage wake up people..
DAMNATION✊✊✊
Damnation!
Who else?????
Three asides to song...1) I'm a drummer and the drum performance on this song is amazing!!
2) check out billy Bragg's version of this. Different lyrics, but still awesome.
3) she's getting a bit Eddie
Vedder near the end!!.
Anyway, cheers.
natalie merchant's voice stirs the soul
One of the best anthems for Labor Day.
holy shit. i do see the koala.
Absolutely beautiful.
Damntion
"If we have to starve this town for 40 days and 40 nights so God makes himself present so be it!"
Anyone else see a Koala in the Inkblot?
Prottimus I see a bulldog!
holy shit. i do see the koala. lmao
We the people, the union men, united, will never be defeated.
Unions create lazy slugs. Down with all Unions there useless.
@terry williams name one achievement that benefits workers that wasn't fought for by a union? Wages, healthcare, time off, workplace safety, protection from unlawful termination all results from union blood. I'll wait for your contribution...
Real American heroes are the ones who gave their lives on Blair Mountain and waged class war against the Capitalist rulling class in this country. We as the working class have been beaten, bombed, hung, shot, thrown in prison, and have had our so called "inalienable" rights stripped from us time and again by this system. We can't ever let the bastards up top win. We have to fight back against their bigoted division of the working class, against their propaganda and against their subjugation of us. Working men and women of the world unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!
Please tell us about the contributions of the IWW in the specific struggle, we are dying to know ;)
Yes...the land of stugles and freedom....slaves..discrimination..ellis island....we are touched.
@PermaKulHurTur most benefits you receive in first world capitalism is due to worker revolutions. Look up things like the hayday massacre and Hartford coal mine riots. Don't lick the boots that stamp on your throat. It'll do you no good. Unless you are the boot..
YES Solidarity Comrade

Damnation brought me here. What a great series
O υμνος των Συριζαιων και αλλων...δημοκρατικων δυναμεων...μεχρι να γινουν κυβερνηση!
Καληνύχτα!!τι κρίμα που πρέπει να κοιμηθουμε ταυτόχρονα πολύ κρίμα
A beautiful version of a pro union song!
Jacob Sharpe pro strike not union. Government needs to regulate employers to make it fair for employees. Higher pay and benefits a must now and paid time off. And 20 hrs is plenty for full time. 40 hrs is way. To much work. Less gree less working more money
Less really is more. Strike on all businesses whose revenue is over 1 million per year. Minimum wage should b based on companies revenue so varies frim company to company small business dont pay taxes anymore and no more labor taxes. They need all their revenue to pay their employees and have benefits. Theres not enough money to pay illegal labor taxes.
What's wrong with striking for fair wages?? Have you ever been in a labour Unions??
*Musica Muito boa , **#DamNation*
Damnation
DAMNATION brought me here !
no fucking neutrals!!!
love this.. i am here cause of Dead Prez
Binge watching Damnation, been chasing this song ever since!
Communists deserve the bullet
The bourgeois deserve the guillotine.
Ill take that bullet. Itll show the people who the real monsters are.
You call unions communist because it helps you hate their achievement. You've fallen victim to the propaganda working against your best interest.
crawl back to 4chan you bronie
Hahaa you wont sjoot the eight mutualists prepare for war.
Who thumbs downed this?!?! I will fight you!
Some scabs somewhere I bet
Fucking Conservatards who love suckin Cop dick. Who the fuck else would it be???
It's time for a rebirth of working class spirit. Billionaire gangsters have taken over our government and just awarded themselves the biggest tax break in history. They think we're just equipment, so much shit to be easily replaced when we break down and they're not about to spend a penny more than they must to take care of us when we get sick or old or just used up. And they think YOUR children don't deserve anything more than chattel slavery to their unspeakable spawn.
You are just equipment to be used until your broken.
"Solidarity Forever" ja das Verkeri!

Take it tongue in cheek or literally depending on your bent. Either way it's a haunting ballad.
Look up the history of the song. It's not "tongue in cheek." It's deadly serious.

leteccz fuck off.
Greetings from Russia!
solidarity for all the fellow workers out there
power to the workingclass
Thanos Murphy : we need it now more than ever
its sad that after nearly 80 years of the fought by FDR for union rights during his campaigns and administrations that this song has never once become irrelevant. union should be here and no less regulations must be met safety must be up held and our world should be as clean as i can possibly be unions help this greatly you have a voice contact your local workers union leader and advocates you can change this but only if you pursue it if you want this bad enough you can, we can, we all should be able to find the strength to pursue it.
I disagree, solidarity only to the struggling workers who are conscious of what it means to be a worker. The rest of them can go f-themselves as they think what is good for the boss is good for them. They'll work for free to keep the boss rich and everyone else poor.
Solidarity to those who struggle for equality and freedom. Everyone else deserve what they get.
I have a feeling you will agree, I am just saying because I think the clarification is important. Solidarity without political content is worse than charity.
I've got shivers running down my spine while listening to this masterpiece.
SOUND THE TRUMPETS AND HORNS...BLOW IT UP.
Gd's advice is ALWAYS SOUND ADVICE.
TOBIAH?
Επίκαιρο...και ωραίο
Άρης Χατζηστεφάνου for president :P

εξαιρετικο!
Traditional song about the unionization of the American coal miners. Refers to Harlan county , Kentucky, where shots were fired and people died.
"Traditional" in the labor movement. Context. Context!
