That's Why They Call It a Union Songtext
von Less Than Jake

There′s a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There′s a thunderstorm inside, and it won't go away
No, it won't go away

That′s why they call it a union
That′s why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union

I remember him turning around
He said, "Son, I′ll be leaving now
I can't be the person that you want me to be"
And then she said, "So things are finally ending now
Yeah, I knew you′d be walking out
You can't be the person that you want me to be"
Want me to be

Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this pain


That′s why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
So both of you, please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight

I remember him turning around
He said, "Son, I′ll be leaving now
You can′t be the person that I want you to be"
Want you to be

Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this silence
Has been enough to last me a lifetime
Three years of all the arguments
Three years of all this pain

That's why they call it a union
That′s why they call it a union
So both of you, please forgive me tonight
That's why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight

I can′t look at the pictures anymore
Because I know how it's run its course
And I know how the story ends
I know it ends


There′s a black cloud over this house
That's been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm inside
And another fight tonight

There′s a black cloud over this house
That′s been around for three years now
There's a thunderstorm tonight, and it won′t go away
No, it won't go away

That′s why they call it a union
That's why they call it a union
So both of you, please forgive me tonight
That′s why they call it a union
So please forgive me tonight
So please forgive me tonight
So please forgive me, goodnight
