When we were kids
We´d throw rocks at cars
And smoke our mother´s cigarettes
After dark, in the park
And I remember picking butts up off the

Dirty ground
Smoking them just the same as Ma´s
When we ran out
And I ripped my heart from beneath my ribs
And lay there bleeding out in my hands
And I´d give a piece to each of my friends
Just to know they understand

That I´d never join the union
´Cause I never wanted it easy
No, I´d never join the union
´Cause I´d never wanted it easy

There´s a pretty little city towering over the sea
And the little yellow house
Falling down on Inglis Street
There´s a few good men who know who I am

And who I am not
And I rip my heart from beneath my rib
And I lie there bleeding out in my hands
And I give a piece to you my friend
Just to know you understand

That I´d never join the union
´Cause I never wanted it easy
Hell, I´d never join the union
´Cause I never wanted it easy

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Now I know why
Your daddy doesn´t like me
Can´t change it
I am a dirty, Rock ´n´ Roller baby

Now I know why
Your daddy doesn´t like me
I can´t change it
I am a dirty, Rock ´n´ Roller

And I´d never join the union
´Cause I never wanted it easy
Hell, I´d never join the union
´Cause I never wanted it easy

That I´d never
No, I´d never
No, I´d never join
That I´d never
No, I´d never
No, I´d never join
That I´d never join the union
´Cause I never wanted it easy

Hey!
