Links On The Chain (LP版) - Phil Ochs[00:00:00]

Come you ranks of labor[00:00:13]

Come you union core[00:00:15]

And see if you remember[00:00:18]

The struggles of before[00:00:20]

When you were standing helpless[00:00:23]

On the outside of the door[00:00:25]

And you started building links[00:00:27]

On the chain[00:00:31]

On the chain[00:00:33]

You started building links[00:00:35]

On the chain[00:00:39]

When the police on the horses[00:00:42]

Were waitin' on demand[00:00:45]

Ridin' through the strike[00:00:48]

With the pistols in their hands[00:00:49]

Swingin' at the skulls of many a union man[00:00:52]

As you built one more link[00:00:57]

On the chain[00:01:00]

On the chain[00:01:02]

As you built one more link[00:01:04]

On the chain[00:01:08]

Then the army of the fascists tried[00:01:13]

To put you on the run[00:01:15]

But the army of the union[00:01:18]

They did what could be done[00:01:19]

Oh the power of the factory was greater[00:01:22]

Than the gun[00:01:25]

As you built one more link[00:01:27]

On the chain[00:01:31]

On the chain[00:01:33]

As you built one more link[00:01:35]

On the chain[00:01:38]

And then in 1954 decisions finally made[00:01:42]

The black man was a risin' fast[00:01:47]

And racin' from the shade[00:01:50]

And your union took no stand[00:01:52]

And your union was betrayed[00:01:54]

As you lost yourself a link[00:01:57]

On the chain[00:02:01]

On the chain[00:02:03]

As you lost yourself a link[00:02:05]

On the chain[00:02:08]

And then there came the boycotts[00:02:12]

And then the freedom rides[00:02:14]

And forgetting what you stood for[00:02:17]

You tried to block the tide[00:02:19]

Oh the automation bosses were laughin' on the side[00:02:22]

As they watched you lose your link[00:02:27]

On the chain[00:02:31]

On the chain[00:02:33]

As they watched you lose your link[00:02:35]

On the chain[00:02:38]

You know when they block your trucks boys[00:02:43]

By layin' on the road[00:02:45]

All that they are doin' is all[00:02:47]

That you have showed[00:02:50]

That you gotta strike you gotta fight[00:02:52]

To get what you are owed[00:02:55]

When you're building all your links[00:02:57]

On the chain[00:03:01]

On the chain[00:03:03]

When you're building all your links[00:03:05]

On the chain[00:03:08]

And the man who tries to tell you[00:03:12]

That they'll take your job away[00:03:14]

He's the same man who was scabbin' hard[00:03:17]

Just the other day[00:03:20]

And your union's not a union 'til[00:03:22]

He's thrown out of the way[00:03:24]

And he's chokin' on your links[00:03:27]

Of the chain[00:03:31]

Of the chain[00:03:33]

And he's chokin' on your links[00:03:35]

Of the chain[00:03:38]

For now the times are tellin' you[00:03:43]

The times are rollin' on[00:03:44]

And you're fighting for the same thing[00:03:47]

The jobs that will be gone[00:03:50]

Now it's only fair to ask you boys[00:03:53]

Which side are you on[00:03:55]

As you're buildin' all your links[00:03:57]

On the chain[00:04:01]

On the chain[00:04:03]

As you're buildin' all your links[00:04:05]

On the chain[00:04:09]
