Which Side Are You On (Live San Fransisco 3 June 1985)
This government had an idea
The Parliament made it law
Seems like it's illegal
To fight for the Union any more
And which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
We set out to join the picket lines
For together we cannot fail
We got stopped by police at the county line
They said, "Go home, boys or you're going to jail"
And which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Well, it's hard to explain to a crying child
Why her Daddy won't go back
So the family suffer but it hurts me more
To hear a scab say,? Sod you, Jack?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys
Which side are you on?
Well, I'm bound to follow my conscience
And I'll do whatever I can
But it'll take much more than the Union law
To knock the fight out of a working man
And which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
The Parliament made it law
Seems like it's illegal
To fight for the Union any more
And which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
We set out to join the picket lines
For together we cannot fail
We got stopped by police at the county line
They said, "Go home, boys or you're going to jail"
And which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Well, it's hard to explain to a crying child
Why her Daddy won't go back
So the family suffer but it hurts me more
To hear a scab say,? Sod you, Jack?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys
Which side are you on?
Well, I'm bound to follow my conscience
And I'll do whatever I can
But it'll take much more than the Union law
To knock the fight out of a working man
And which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
Which side are you on, boys?
Which side are you on?
