Why’d you do it Sally? (Sell out) - Version 1 (Raw)


We’ve stood in the rain, the wind and the snow,

We came together, and a movement has grown,

On pickets all across the land,

Students and staff together we stand,

Oh, didn’t you see us Sally?

 

We fight pension theft by the UUK,

We fight for the public University,

We told you that this deal was shit,

We shouted revise and resubmit,

Oh, didn’t you hear us Sally?

 

Why’d you do it Sally?

Why’d you sell us out?

Did our voices fall on deaf ears,

Do we need to spell it out?

That we are the Union,

The grassroots, the rank and file,

And you better get on out the way,

Cos we’re gonna be around a while.

 

Union old timers say, they’ve never seen this before,

So many members mobilised, so many new ones coming through the door,

Cos now it is clear to see,

We are the University,

Oh, don’t you get it, Sally?

 

Why’d you do it Sally?

Why’d you sell us out?

Did our voices fall on deaf ears,

Do we need to spell it out?

That we are the Union,

The grassroots, the rank and file,

And you better get on out the way,

Cos we’re gonna be around a while.

 

So many UCU defeats of the past,

When we didn’t organise, and left it to top brass,

We’ve forged a new situation,

We shouted NO Capitulation!

Oh, we thought you’d learned something , Sally

 

Why’d you do it Sally?

Why’d you sell us out?

Did our voices fall on deaf ears,

Do we need to spell it out?

That we are the Union,

The grassroots, the rank and file,

And you better get on out the way,

Cos we’re gonna be around a while.
