[Verse 1]
GWorkingmen, unite!
We Cmust put up a Gfight,
GTo make us free from slavery
And Dcapitalistic Gtyranny;
GThis fight is not in vain,
We've Cgot a world to Ggain.
GWill you be a fool, a capitalist tool,
And Dserve your eneGmy?
[Chorus]
GShall we Cstill be slaves and work for Gwages?
GIt is outDrageous--has been for Gages;
GO! The Cearth by right belongs to Gtoilers,
GAnd not to Dspoilers of liberGty.
[Verse 2]
GConditions they are bad,
And Csome of you are Gsad;
GYou cannot see your enemy,
The Dclass that lives in luxuGry,--
GYou workingmen are poor,--
Will Cbe foreverGmore,--
GAs long as you permit the few
To Dguide your destiGny.
[Chorus]
GShall we Cstill be slaves and work for Gwages?
GIt is outDrageous--has been for Gages;
GO! The Cearth by right belongs to Gtoilers,
GAnd not to Dspoilers of liberGty.
[Verse 3]
GThe master class is small,
But Cthey have lots of "Ggall."
GWhen we unite to gain our right,
If Dthey resist we'll Guse our might;
GThere is no middle ground
This Cfight must be one Ground
GTo victory, for liberty,
Our Dclass is marching Gon!
[Chorus]
GShall we Cstill be slaves and work for Gwages?
GIt is outDrageous--has been for Gages;
GO! The Cearth by right belongs to Gtoilers,
GAnd not to Dspoilers of liberGty.
