The Union Buster

The Union Buster

Tene: "Oh! Suzanna" by Stephen Foster.

Show, Asd I make my liv- ing stealing bread from the mouths of work- ing

Well, now, let me introduce myself, Jack Shyster is my name.

I'm a management consultant; union busting is my game.

I'm a master of the con job, I'm an expert at the hoax;

and I make my living stealing bread from the mouths of working folks.

In the old days we used gun thugs, we used ginks and finks and goons.

Pitting folks against each other, spreading hatred, fear, and lies;

Cutting down the hopes of workers who rise up to organize.

There's no tactic I won't stoop to, there's no trick I haven't tried,

To manipulate the workers and to keep them petrified.

Texas Instruments, McDonald's, Litton Industries, Coors beer,

I'm the one that they depend on to maintain their reign of fear.

Jack London tells the story: God was working in his lab,

And with some hateful substance he made my good friend, the scab.

Well, he gave some of that awful stuff a graduate degree;

He dressed it in a three-piece suit, and that's how he made me.
