The Unions Are To Blame

WelI, I did not think about it
All of my 8 hour day
And I did not think about it
Updating my resume

Not in that safe well lit office of mine
Not while depositing my overtime
And signing my name

But I thought about it all weekend
Yeah I thought about it all weekend
Yeah I thought about it all weekend and
To this conclusion I came
The unions are to blame

There was a painful recession
And the CEO lost his yacht
He had to mortgage his summer home
It’s one of just 3 he’s got

How could this happen well I believe it’s
That one of his employees with health benefits
Filed a claim

I thought about it all weekend
And I thought about it on my sick days
I thought about it on my paid vacation
And to this conclusion I came
The unions are to blame

The unions bargain collectively
And more effectively
That ain’t fair
They want to share the prosperity
Solidarity
It’s just un-American
It’s sickening
Their stickin’ it to us in the Greek end
I thought about that all weekend

Well I don’t like the unions brother
All they do is bitch
And I’m thinking why would I join one
When someday I’ll be rich
I’ll sit and sippin’ ice tea on the porch
And smoke the national pipe dream of fortune and fame

Yeah I though about it all weekend
And I thought about it while I was perusing my pension plan
And when I was due for a promotion and I got it
And when someone’s head was on the block and mine was not it
And when the chairman of the board told me and I bought it
And when I bought that hot new toy for my kid
I did not make but some kid in China did
I think he’s a boy scout - he’s got just 3 fingers on his right hand

Yeah i thought about it all labor day
And to this conclusion I came
The unions are to blame
Yeah the unions are messin’ up my weekend
