UNION MAN
Words and Music by Ricky Dean Fisher ©1998
He sits at home
He’s all alone
Staring at the floor
He’s praying for a miracle
But there’s no one he can call
He took a wife
He chased the dream
Almost made it right
Now he’s lost in bureaucracy
But you know someday
It will fall out of sight.

He knew his job, he did it well
Really had it down
Joined the union, paid his dues
Bought a house in town
Now there’s no one in the factory
They had to modernize
Cutting out all the overhead and watch your profits rise
Out of sight.
Are you out of your mind?

The took his job, they stole his pride
And all his self-respect has died
Computerized his American Dream
Now there’s nothing left for him to be
For him to be……….for him to be……

So he sits at home and he’s all alone
Staring at the ground
He’s praying for a miracle but his God has left him down
He took a wife, he chased the dream
Almost made it right
Now he’s lost in democracy, but you know someday
It will fall out of sight…..
Are we out of our minds?
Are we out of our minds……

La la la la la la la la la….
I’m a union man.
