United we stand, divided we fall

Say hey Johnny boy, the battle call. 

United we stand, divided we fall. 

Together we are what we can't be alone, 

We came to this country, you made it our home. 

This man so humble, this man so brave.

A legend to many, he fought to his grave. 

Saved family and friends from the hardship and horror,

in a land of depression he gave hope for tomorrow. 

Say Johnny me boy, this ones for you. 

With the strength of many and the courage of few. 

To what do we owe this man who's fight 

was for the masses, he gave his life.

Buon Primo Maggio.

Happy St. Patrick!

Festeggiamo il Giorno di San Patrizio con Take Em Down, canzone dei Dropkick Murphys dedicata alle proteste sindacali che da più di un mese stanno bloccando il Wisconsin, dove i sindacati hanno occupato il parlamento e i deputati democratici si rifiutano di avallare i tagli draconiani ai dipendenti pubblici e la fine della contrattazione collettiva proposti dal governatore Scott Walker (qui un articolo di Marco d'Eramo e un servizio di skytg24 per chi si fosse perso la cosa).

When the boss comes callin' they'll put us down 
When the boss comes callin' gotta stand your ground 
When the boss comes callin' don't believe their lies 

When the boss comes callin' his take his toll 

When the boss comes callin' don't you sell your soul 

When the boss comes callin' we gotta organize 

Let em know - We gotta take the bastards down 

Let em know - We gotta smash them to the ground 

Let em know - We gotta take the bastards down 

When the boss comes callin' you'll be on your own 
When the boss comes callin' will you stand alone? 
When the boss comes callin' will you let them in? 
When the boss comes callin' will you stand and fight? 

When the boss comes callin' we must unite 

When the boss comes callin' we can't let them win
