lyrics

The strike of ’75
From the efforts of the Catholic Union came the strike of ‘75. Tired of the dust and shit pay, tired of the constant lies. My grandpa and
my father were on the front of the picking line. 3500 weary workers, from Vimy to the Carey mine decided it was time. But the mining
companies had other plans on their minds to push and push and push ‘till violence rises. Same story, same scabs. Those traitors knew where to stab. Never sorry, scumbags. They never had honour in their lives. The friendship between the Prime and the bosses of the mines Didn’t fail to explain his indifference towards their “war crimes”. Availing from the events of ’74 when the King mill burned down, down to the floor. If you evoked your working conditions again, they would simply fire you and show you the door. Unemployment
and misery. Dust everywhere in this wretched city. Now that he can’t gain from it, Trudeau put a term on the strike with a special law.
What put him on the map years before is now squashed under his little bourgeois paws!
