"Harry Bridges"

Bloody Thursday was July 6th
The pigs killed three workers
Harry Bridges grabbed the mic
The city shut down on July 6th
The workers were outraged
It was a general strike
The media claimed that the commies
Were taking over and some believed it was true
Three uncompromising strikes paved the way
Minnesota, San Francisco, Toledo

Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken

Eddie worked for General Motors
He swore he'd never lose his job again
A union man who owned his own home
In beautiful Flint, Michigan
Eddie lost his job and Eddie lost his home
So Eddie lost his self esteem
Last time I saw Eddie
He was living in a trailor park again

Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken

I believe that Eddie forgave too much too soon
I got a letter about Eddie
It was bad news

Over and over again
The doors are locked and the windows are broken
