Intro Bloody Thursday was July 5th The pigs killed 3 workers Harry Bridges grabbed the mic The city shut down July 6th the workers outrage it was a general strike Verse The media claimed that the Commies were taking over And some believed it was true 3 uncompromising strikes was paved the way MN SF and Toledo O - ver and over again the doors are locked And the windows are broken O - ver and over again the doors are locked And the windows are broken Verse Eddie worked for General Motors and he swore That he’d never lose his job again A union man who owned his own home In beautiful Flint Michi-gan Eddie lost his job and Eddie lost his wife So Eddie lost his self-esteem The last time I saw Eddie He was living in the trailer park again O - ver and over again the doors are locked And the windows are broken O - ver and over again the doors are locked And the windows are broken Bridge: I believe Eddie for gave too much too soon I got a letter from Eddie and it was bad news O - ver and over again the doors are locked And the windows are broken O - ver and over again the doors are locked And the windows are broken

La chanson évoque les luttes des travailleurs face à des injustices sociales et économiques, en mettant en lumière des événements marquants tels que Bloody Thursday, où des ouvriers ont perdu la vie. Elle parle d'un homme, Eddie, qui a connu la désillusion après avoir perdu son emploi et sa famille, illustrant ainsi les conséquences dévastatrices des crises économiques sur les individus. Le contexte renvoie à des périodes de grèves et de mobilisation des syndicats, notamment dans des villes comme San Francisco et Toledo, où les injustices étaient manifeste. C'est un appel à la solidarité et à la résilience des travailleurs face à un système qui les oppresse.
