[Verse 1]
Workers Dof the world, awaken!
Break your Achains, demand your Grights.
All the Dwealth you make is taken
By exEploiting parasites.
Shall you Dkneel in deep submission
From your Acradles to your Ggraves?
Is the Dheight of your ambition
To be Cgood and Gwilling Cslaves?
[Chorus]
AFrise, ye G7prisoners of Cstarva-Amtion!
FFight for your G7own eDmancipation;
ArFise, ye G7slaves of eCv'ry na-Amtion.
EIn One BUnion Cgrand.
Our lG7ittle ones for Cbread are crying
And mG7illions are from Chunger dying;
The G7end the means is Cjusti-Ffying,
'Tis the Dfinal Cstand.
[Verse 2]
If the Dworkers take a notion
They can Astop all speeding Gtrains;
Every Dship upon the ocean
They can Atie with mighty Gchains.
Every Dwheel in the creation,
Every Amine and every Gmill
Fleets and Darmies of the nation,
Will at Ctheir com-Gmand stand Cstill.
[Chorus]
AFrise, ye G7prisoners of Cstarva-Amtion!
FFight for your G7own eDmancipation;
ArFise, ye G7slaves of eCv'ry na-Amtion.
EIn One BUnion Cgrand.
Our lG7ittle ones for Cbread are crying
And mG7illions are from Chunger dying;
The G7end the means is Cjusti-Ffying,
'Tis the Dfinal Cstand.
[Verse 3]
Join the Dunion, fellow workers
Men and Awomen, side by Gside;
We will Dcrush the greedy shirkers
Like a Asweeping; surging Gtide;
For u-Dnited we are standing,
But di-Avided we will Gfall;
Let this Dbe our understanding--
"All for Cone and Gone for Call."
[Chorus]
AFrise, ye G7prisoners of Cstarva-Amtion!
FFight for your G7own eDmancipation;
ArFise, ye G7slaves of eCv'ry na-Amtion.
EIn One BUnion Cgrand.
Our lG7ittle ones for Cbread are crying
And mG7illions are from Chunger dying;
The G7end the means is Cjusti-Ffying,
'Tis the Dfinal Cstand.
[Verse 4]
Workers Dof the world, awaken!
Rise in Aall your splendid Gmight;
Take the Dwealth that you are making,
It be-Alongs to you by Gright.
No one Dwill for bread be crying,
We'll have Afreedom, love, and Ghealth.
When the Dgrand red flag is flying
In the CWorkers' GCommon-Cwealth.
[Chorus]
AFrise, ye G7prisoners of Cstarva-Amtion!
FFight for your G7own eDmancipation;
ArFise, ye G7slaves of eCv'ry na-Amtion.
EIn One BUnion Cgrand.
Our lG7ittle ones for Cbread are crying
And mG7illions are from Chunger dying;
The G7end the means is Cjusti-Ffying,
'Tis the Dfinal Cstand.
