Lyrics for 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
